Extracorporeal plateletpheresis induces the interaction of activated platelets with white blood cells.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In this study we investigated whether platelet activation during apheresis results in the binding of platelets to white blood cells. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Analysis of platelet-leukocyte interaction was performed using multiparameter, three-color flow cytometry. RESULTS: Over the duration of the procedure, there was an increase in the surface expression of CD62p (P-selectin) and CD63 (p
