The effect of antiplatelet antibody on in vitro platelet function was investigated in 15 dogs with immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (ITP). Platelet aggregation was assessed after addition of serum from healthy dogs (n = 5) or dogs with ITP (n = 15) to platelet-rich plasma from a healthy donor dog. The aggregation responses to adenosine diphosphate, thrombin, and collagen/epinephrine were measured as the maximum aggregation observed after 2 minutes. In 13 of 15 dogs with ITP, maximal aggregation was significantly inhibited in response to ADP, thrombin, or collagen/epinephrine. The slope of the aggregation curve was decreased after addition of serum from 9 of 15 patients. A polyclonal rabbit anti—dog platelet antiserum induced inhibition of aggregation with all 3 agonists.
Serum from control dogs neither inhibited nor activated platelet aggregation. Aggregation experiments were repeated with all 3 agonists after addition of patient immunoglobulin (lg)G or IgG from a healthy dog to platelet-rich plasma. The IgG fraction from 9 of 10 dogs with ITP suppressed platelet aggregation. The IgG fraction from polyclonal rabbit anti—dog platelet antiserum inhibited platelet aggregation with all agonists. These results suggest that many canine ITP patients have circulating antibodies that, in addition to causing platelet destruction, may cause platelet dysfunction.  相似文献

Background: Whole blood platelet aggregometry (impedance) is an important method to investigate platelet function disorders. Examination of hemostatic function in sheep is important with respect to their role as an animal model of human disease. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate and optimize selected methodological aspects (anticoagulant, agonist concentration) of impedance aggregometry in ovine blood using the new Multiplate 5.0 analyzer. Methods: Blood samples were collected in hirudin anticoagulant from 40 clinically healthy sheep. Samples from selected sheep were collected in citrate, with or without the addition of calcium chloride. The agonists adenosine diphosphate (ADP), collagen, ristocetin, arachidonic acid, and thrombin receptor‐activating peptide (TRAP) were added in several concentrations to induce aggregation. Results: Based on maximum aggregation values and internal precision, no significant difference was found between ADP concentrations of 3–10 μmol/L and collagen concentrations of 3–5 μg/mL (P>.05). The lowest interindividual variation of approximately 3–4‐fold was seen with 4 and 5 μmol/L ADP and 4 and 5 μg/mL collagen. Ristocetin, arachidonic acid, and TRAP did not induce significant aggregation at any concentration. Aggregation results were significantly lower when measured in citrate‐ vs hirudin‐anticoagulated blood, regardless of the presence of calcium chloride. Conclusions: Our results indicate that the multiplate impedance aggregometer is suitable for the measurement of platelet aggregation in sheep using optimal agonist concentrations of 4–5 μmol/L ADP and 4–5 μg/mL collagen. Hirudin‐anticoagulated blood is the preferred sample material.  相似文献

Objectives – To assess platelet function of a commercial dimethyl‐sulfoxide (DMSO)‐stabilized frozen platelet concentrate (PC) using turbidimetric aggregometry. Design – In vitro analysis. Setting – Research laboratory in a school of veterinary medicine. Animals – Five units of frozen PC in 6% DMSO were studied. Fresh platelet‐rich plasma (PRP), with and without 6% DMSO, from 6 healthy dogs were used as controls. Interventions – Turbidimetric platelet aggregation was measured after initiation of platelet aggregation by addition of adenosine diphosphate (ADP), collagen, or thrombin at concentrations of 30 μM, 20 μg/mL, and 0.5 U/mL, respectively. Measures were performed at thaw and repeated 2 hours after thaw for the frozen PC. Measurements and Main Results – Compared with PRP, the frozen PC showed decreased aggregation in response to thrombin (amplitude of 84% versus 25%, P=0.01), and collagen (amplitude of 13% versus 3%, P=0.05) but not ADP (6.5% versus 18%, P=0.2). Compared with frozen PC at thaw, the frozen PC at 2 hours after thaw showed decreased aggregation in response to thrombin, collagen, and ADP (P<0.05). There was no difference in aggregation between PRP in 6% DMSO and frozen PC. Conclusions – These in vitro data suggest there is a decrease in platelet response to agonists associated with the freeze‐thaw process in the commercially available 6% DMSO canine frozen PC.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to examine the influence of unfractionated heparin (UFH) and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) on the function of canine thrombocytes. This was performed by adding different concentrations of UFH or LMWH to platelet rich plasma (PRP) or blood of healthy dogs: 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 I.U./ml UFH or Anti-FXaU/ml LMWH, respectively (aggregation induced by thrombin additionally: 0.025, 0.05, and 0.1 I.U./ml UFH or Anti-FXaU/ml LMWH.) Platelet aggregation induced by ADP, collagen or thrombin with the BORN method (n = 11) as well as the in vitro bleeding time using the analyzer PFA-100 (n = 5) were examined. Additionally, a specific test assay for ADP induced platelet aggregation was performed which enabled an individual adjustment of the aggregation maximum at 30-40% in the control measurements (n = 6). The most prominent effect was noted in the platelet aggregation induced by thrombin. The aggregation maximum of the platelet aggregation induced by 1 I.U./ml thrombin (final concentration) was significantly lower in all of the testet UFH concentrations > or = 0.025 I.U./ml UFH in comparison to control measurements. If the aggregation was induced by 10 I.U./ml thrombin a significant reduction of the aggregation maximum was restricted to UFH concentrations > or = 0.5 I.U./ml. The addition of LMWH to canine PRP resulted in a distinct decrease (p < 0.01) of the maximum aggregation induced by 1 I.U./ml thrombin in concentrations > or = 0.2 Anti-FXaU/ml LMWH. A slight decrease of the maximum aggregation induced by collagen was only found for UFH at activities > or = 20 I.U./ml. No significant systematic influence could be demonstrated for LMWH on the aggregation induced by collagen as well as for LMWH and UFH on the platelet aggregation induced by ADP. Capillary in vitro bleeding time (closure time) was prolonged only after adding high concentrations of UFH (> or = 10 I.U./ml) and LMWH (> or = 50 Anti-FXaU/ml) to the sample material. The results document the unimportant influence of therapeutic levels of UFH and LMWH on platelet function in dogs. Therefore, the remarkable inhibition of the aggregation induced by thrombin reflects mainly the antithrombin effect.  相似文献

Background: Limited information exists regarding hemostasis in camelids despite the importance of platelet function testing in the accurate identification of platelet disorders. As further importation of llamas to North America is restricted, variability in breeding stock will continue to decrease, potentially leading to an increase in heritable bleeding disorders. Objective: The objective of this study was to measure platelet aggregation responses in clinically healthy llamas and provide baseline data to which abnormal platelet function may be compared in the future. Methods: Blood samples were collected from 39 healthy adult llamas, citrated, and centrifuged to produce platelet‐rich plasma (PRP). Within 4 hours of the blood draw, 20 μL of each agonist reagent were added to 180 μL of PRP. Final concentrations of agonists were 2 × 10?5 M ADP, 0.19 mg collagen/mL PRP, 1 × 10?4 M epinephrine, and 500 μg arachidonic acid/mL PRP. Results: Llama platelets were most responsive to ADP and collagen, with a maximum percent aggregation (mean±SD) of 71.3±18.6% and 55.8±19% and aggregation rates of 9.5±3.9 and 6.7±3.7 cm/min, respectively. Llama platelet aggregation in response to epinephrine and arachidonic acid was minimal to absent. Conclusions: This study is the first of its kind to establish baseline values for platelet aggregation in healthy adult llamas.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Clinical studies investigating platelet function in dogs have had conflicting results that may be caused by normal physiologic variation in platelet response to agonists. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to investigate platelet function in clinically healthy dogs of 4 different breeds by whole-blood aggregometry and with a point-of-care platelet function analyzer (PFA-100), and to evaluate the effect of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) administration on the results from both methods. METHODS: Forty-five clinically healthy dogs (12 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels [CKCS], 12 Cairn Terriers, 10 Boxers, and 11 Labrador Retrievers) were included in the study. Platelet function was assessed by whole-blood aggregation with ADP (1, 5, 10, and 20 microM) as agonist and by PFA-100 using collagen and epinephrine (Col + Epi) and Col + ADP as agonists. Plasma thromboxane B(2) concentration was determined by an enzyme immunoassay. To investigate the effect of ASA, 10 dogs were dosed daily (75 or 250 mg ASA orally) for 4 consecutive days. RESULTS: A higher platelet aggregation response was found in CKCS compared to the other breeds. Longer PFA-100 closure time (Col + Epi) was found in Cairn Terriers compared to Boxers. Plasma thromboxane B(2) concentration was not statistically different between groups. Administration of ASA prolonged the PFA-100 closure times, using Col + Epi (but not Col + ADP) as agonists. Furthermore, ASA resulted in a decrease in whole-blood platelet aggregation. CONCLUSIONS: Platelet function is influenced by breed, depending upon the methodology applied. However, the importance of these breed differences remains to be investigated. The PFA-100 method with Col + Epi as agonists, and ADP-induced platelet aggregation appear to be sensitive to ASA in dogs.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Thrombocytopenia is the most common and consistent hematologic finding in patients with canine monocytic ehrlichiosis. Dogs that recover from the severe thrombocytopenia still show bleeding tendencies, which suggest that platelet dysfunction is present. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the occurrence and duration of platelet dysfunction in dogs with ehrlichiosis and to assess whether dysfunction is related to thrombocytopenia. METHODS: Ten adult male and female mongrel dogs were used in the study; 7 were inoculated intravenously with whole blood containing Ehrlichia canis, and 3 were used as controls. Platelet aggregation (with collagen/epinephrine and adenosine diphosphate (ADP)/epinephrine) and platelet counts were evaluated weekly for 112 days. RESULTS: The infected group showed a decrease in platelet aggregation response to collagen/epinephrine and ADP/epinephrine on days 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 (P <.05). Thrombocytopenia was observed in all infected animals from day 7 to 35 postinfection (P <.05). CONCLUSIONS: The tendency of dogs infected with E canis to bleed may be related not only to thrombocytopenia but also to platelet dysfunction associated with the disease.  相似文献

This paper describes the optimal conditions for simultaneous evaluation of platelet aggregation and secretion capacity in canine whole blood using a Whole Blood Lumi-Aggregometer (Chrono-Log Corporation, Havertown, Pensylvania). For this purpose, the potential influence of several parameters was investigated using collagen, adenosinediphosphate (ADP), arachidonic acid (AA) and thrombin as platelet agonists.Results indicate that optimal experimental conditions to obtain reliable results include: allowing blood samples to stand at room temperature 60 minutes after blood collection, analysing samples within 3 hours from time of collection, adjusting platelet numbers to a final concentration of 150 000 microl(-1)and mixing the sample with isotonic saline (1:1) before adding the platelet agonist. The use of different platelet agonists offers variable results: collagen (0.5, 1 and 5 microg ml(-1)) is suitable for simultaneous platelet aggregation and adenosintriphosphate (ATP) secretion measurements; 1 UI ml(-1)of thrombin induced maximum ATP secretion;AA (0.5 and 1 mM) and ADP (5, 10 and 25 microM) did not give consistent results.The method described in this study has important clinical applications since it allows easy and quick platelet function evaluation in pathologic states.  相似文献

Equine platelet aggregation responses to bovine collagen, adenosine diphosphate (ADP), serotonin, epinephrine, and arachidonate in a platelet aggregometer were recorded. Equine platelets exhibited irreversible aggregation when incubated with ADP at a final concentration of 10 microM and bovine collagen. A secondary aggregation wave was recorded from platelets from certain horses at final ADP concentrations of 1 to 5 microM. Serotonin and arachidonate induced a weak reversible aggregation response, but a response was not observed following epinephrine addition. Equine platelet aggregation was influenced by concentration of anticoagulant (sodium citrate). Platelet aggregation responses at 37 C were indistinguishable from those recorded at 39 C. Platelet aggregation responses also were altered if the aggregation tests were not performed within 4 hours of blood sample acquisition. An assessment of platelet aggregation from multiple blood samples from the same horse indicated that the procedures described provide a reliable method to assess equine platelet aggregation in vitro.  相似文献

A recently identified intrinsic platelet function defect in 2 Spitz dogs is described. Both affected dogs had a history of chronic intermittent bleeding primarily from the nasal, oral, and gastrointestinal mucosa. Platelet aggregation in response to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), collagen, and platelet activating factor (PAF) was absent; however, platelet shape change did occur. Platelets aggregated in response to gamma thrombin, although a delayed onset and a reduced velocity of aggregation were present. Platelet 14C-serotonin release was diminished in response to collagen and PAF. Glycoprotein Illa was detected on the surface of platelets by flow cytometry. Platelets were morphologically normal under light and electron microscopy. Two male Spitz dogs, related to one of the affected dogs, did not have a bleeding diathesis. Collagen-induced platelet aggregation, however, was diminished in these 2 dogs. This platelet defect most closely resembles the defect described in Basset hounds.  相似文献

The influence of heparin on different tests of platelet function was investigated in 5 healthy dogs receiving subcutaneously 1000 I.E./kg BW of a commercial unfractionated Sodium heparin preparation. Blood samples were collected before and 4 hours after heparin injection. Besides plasma activity of heparin platelet count, capillary bleeding time with two different methods, platelet aggregation according to Breddin and to Born with the inductors ADP, collagen, and thrombin as well as in vitro bleeding time were measured. The activity of heparin four hours after the subcutaneous heparin application was 1.20 +/- 0.11 I.E./ml. Compared to the starting values no significant influence of this heparin level could be demonstrated on platelet count, platelet aggregation according to Born with the inductors ADP and collagen, platelet aggregation according to the Breddin method as well as in vitro bleeding time (p > 0.05). Only one of the two methods used for measuring the capillary bleeding time showed a slight prolongation compared to the starting value (mean = 77 sec) to 88 sec (p < 0.05). The most significant influence was seen on the platelet aggregation induced by 1 I.U./ml thrombin, whereby the aggregation maximum decreased from 92.0% (mean) to 12.2% (p < 0.001). Whereas the latter result has to be interpreted primarily as a consequence of the anti-thrombin effect of heparin, the results of the other tests in summary illustrate the clinical unimportant influence of heparin on platelet function in dogs.  相似文献

The platelet function analyser PFA-100 aspirates blood in vitro from a sample reservoir in disposable test cartridges through a microscopic aperture cut into a biologically active membrane at the end of a capillary. In different cartridges the membrane is coated with collagen and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or collagen and epinephrine (adrenaline) inducing a platelet plug and closure of the aperture. The closure time and total volume of blood flow through the capillary until closure of its aperture were measured. The correlation between platelet count in samples of thrombocytopenic dogs and results of the collagen/ADP cartridge (closure time: r(S)=-0.579; total volume: r(S)=-0.549) was closer than between platelet count and capillary bleeding time. No significant correlation was observed between platelet count and the results obtained with the collagen/epinephrine cartridge. In addition, a higher sensitivity was obtained for the collagen/ADP cartridge. Injection of acetylsalicylic acid into healthy dogs significantly increased closure time and total volume of both types of cartridges (P<0.01). Two dogs with von Willebrand's disease had abnormal values. In contrast, coagulopathies did not significantly influence the results of the platelet function analyser (P>0.05). Despite adequate sensitivity of measurements using the collagen/ADP cartridge to assess quantitative and qualitative platelet disorders in dogs, the influence of haematocrit (P<0.0001) will limit the clinical application of the analyser.  相似文献

Haemostatic alterations in dogs naturally infected by ehrlichiosis and/or leishmaniasis were studied. Platelet count, ADP and collagen-induced platelet aggregation, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and plasma fibrinogen concentration were measured. An evident reduction of platelet aggregation response was shown for Leishmania-Ehrlichia co-infected dogs where platelet aggregation was lower in comparison with control and leishmaniotic dogs (ADP and collagen, P < or = 0.01) and ehrlichiotic dogs (ADP 10 and 7.5 microm, P < or = 0.05). Moreover, a significant increase in APTT as well as a reduction of the albumin/globulin rate (A/G) for leishmaniotic and co-infected dogs versus control and ehrlichiotic dogs was detected. The hypothesis of a synergism between leishmaniosis and ehrlichiosis in altering platelet function by different pathways is discussed.  相似文献

The possibility of storage of canine platelet concentrates (PC) was investigated using PC from dogs which were obtained with an automatic cell separator in C4-cell separation sets with low gasdiffusionable Polyvinylchlorid (PVC) storage containers or in C4L-sets developed for storage with high gasdiffusionable Polyolefin (PO) containers, respectively. The storage was carried out for a period of 10 days under permanent agitation at 22 degrees C (C4/22 degrees C, n = 10; C4L/22 degrees C, n = 11) or at 4 degrees C (C4L/4 degrees C, n = 6), respectively. Measurements were done directly after production of the PC, after 6 hours and then daily during the 10-day storage period. In the first part of this paper the results of platelet count (determined automatically with a blood cell differentiation automat and visually), the number of platelet aggregates, the mean platelet volume (MPV) as well as the platelet function with regard to the platelet aggregation induced by collagen or ADP and the resonance-thrombogram (RTG) are presented. The platelet count, measured automatically as well as visually, remained preponderantly constant over the complete storage time in all storage conditions. Dependent on the storage conditions--especially under storage at 22 degrees C--an increase of the number of platelet aggregates and a decrease of MPV was determined. In addition, the loss of platelet function measured by aggregation induced by collagen as well as by ADP showed a significant dependency of storage conditions. The stored platelets lost their ability to aggregate under C4/22 degrees C-conditions after a storage period of 2 days, under C4L/22 degrees C-conditions after 4 days and under C4L/4 degrees C-conditions not before 8 days of storage. Previous resuspending of platelets in fresh plasma delayed the loss of platelet function. Because the loss of platelet function described in the RTG became significant at nearly the same point in time, a storage of canine PC under corresponding conditions can be recommended for upto 2 days (C4/22 degrees C), for 4 days (C4L/22 degrees C) or 8-10 days (C4L/4 degrees C), respectively.  相似文献

Platelet number, mean platelet volume, and platelet function were evaluated in 34 clinically normal dogs and 28 heartworm-infected (HWI) dogs. Mean platelet numbers for dogs of the HWI group was not significantly lower than those for dogs of the control group (214,000 vs 254,000 cells/microliter); however, 6 (21%) HWI dogs had platelet numbers less than 150,000/microliter, compared with only 2 (6%) heartworm-negative dogs. The mean platelet volume was not significantly different (7.8 vs 7.7 fl) between the 2 groups of dogs. Mean platelet aggregation responses to intermediate and low concentrations of collagen (3.0 and 1.5 micrograms) and to high, intermediate, and low concentrations of ADP (25, 10, and 5 microM) were greater in dogs of the HWI group. Mean platelet 14C-serotonin release was also greater in HWI dogs in response to high concentration of ADP (25 microM) and to intermediate concentration of collagen (3.0 micrograms).  相似文献

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a fundamental feature of myxomatous mitral valve disease in the dog. In humans, primary MVP is associated with increased platelet reactivity. In Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (CKCS), a breed predisposed to myxomatous mitral valve disease, there is a high prevalence of hypomagnesemia and platelet anomalies, such as thrombocytopenia and macrothrombocytosis. The objective of this study was to evaluate platelet aggregation responses in CKCS and to determine the relationship between the platelet aggregation response and serum magnesium concentration, MVP, mitral regurgitation (MR), and platelet count. In 19 CKCS with MVP and 7 control dogs (not CKCS), the platelet aggregation response to 3 different agonists was compared. The CKCS with >100,000 platelets/microL (n = 10) had a significantly higher maximum aggregation response with regard to all tested agonists than the CKCS with <100,000 platelets/microL (n = 9) and control dogs (n = 7). The CKCS with <100,000 platelets/microL had a platelet aggregation response similar to the control dogs. There was no correlation between degree of MVP and platelet aggregation response. Platelet diameter increased (P = .006) and serum magnesium concentration decreased (P = .04) with lower platelet concentration. In conclusion, CKCS with MVP appeared to separate into 2 groups--1 group with <100,000 platelets/microL, normal platelet aggregation, low serum magnesium concentration, and enlarged platelets, and another group with >100,000 platelets/microL, increased platelet aggregation, and normal serum magnesium concentration and platelet size.  相似文献

Veterinarians involved in Greyhound rescue have anecdotally observed that 10-15% of Greyhounds bleed profusely after simple surgical procedures. In most patients, platelet counts and hemostasis profiles are normal; therefore, it is possible that these dogs have platelet dysfunction. The PFA-100 is a novel point-of-care platelet function analyzer that has recently been evaluated as a rapid method to assess platelet function in dogs. The objectives of this study were to characterize platelet function in a group of healthy Greyhounds by means of the PFA-100. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein from 30 healthy Greyhounds. CBC, biochemical profile, PFA-100 assay with collagen/epinephrine (COL-EPI) and collagen/ adenosindiphosphate (COL-ADP), plasma von Willebrand factor antigen concentration (vWF:Ag), and vWF collagen-binding assay (vWF:CBA) were performed. PFA-100 closure times (CTs) with COL/ADP ranged from 63 to 92 seconds (mean +/- SD, 74.7 +/- 7.9 seconds) and with COL/EPI from 87 to 238 seconds (138 +/- 41 seconds); vWF: Ag ranged from 22 to 120% (87.52 +/- 25.5%) and vWF: CBA ranged from 36 to 102% (77.4 +/- 17.3%); and platelet counts ranged from 147 to 265 x 10(9)/L (194.6 +/- 31.64 x 10(9)/L). Greyhound CTs were significantly shorter than CTs in a mixed population of 50 healthy non-Greyhound dogs, in which the COL/ADP CTs ranged from 61 to 172 seconds (mean +/- SD, 87 +/- 21.6 seconds), and the COL/ EPI CTs ranged from 81 to 300 seconds (mean +/- SD, 183 +/- 67.6 seconds; P = 0.005 for COL/ADP CT; P = 0.001 for COL/ EPI CT). Also, platelet counts were significantly lower (P = 0.001) and packed cell volume was significantly higher (P = 0.001) in the Greyhound than in the non-Greyhound group. The PFA-100 is a reproducible method that can be used in the clinical setting to assess platelet function in Greyhounds; however, normal CTs in healthy Greyhounds are shorter than in other breeds. The results obtained in this study will be used to screen for abnormal platelet function in Greyhounds with postoperative bleeding.  相似文献

In Japanese black cattle with large and long-existing hematomas, platelets was impaired in collagen aggregation function in vitro. There was no statistically significant difference from control animals in the tests of PT (prothrombin time) and PTT (partial thromboplastin time) for extrinsic and intrinsic blood coagulation system. Aside from impaired collagen aggregation function, platelets in the hematoma cattle showed the similar aggregation patterns as the normal cattle, when ADP, serotonin (5-HT), thrombin, arachidonic acid, epinephrine and ristocetin were used as agents for inducing aggregation. Decreased aggregation function as well as impaired collagen-induced release response in platelets suggested the hematoma cattle to be of storage pool disease (SPD). The impaired platelet was postulated to be a main cause of the large and long-existing hematomas. All of the hematoma cattle with impaired platelet functions had the eosinophils in peripheral blood of which granules were fewer and larger than normal ones. These large eosinophil granules were peroxidase positive and periodic acid Schiff (PAS) staining negative as typical eosinophil granules.  相似文献

Platelet Hyperfunction in Dogs With Malignancies   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  
In vitro platelet aggregometry was performed on whole blood samples from 59 dogs with malignancies and 24 control dogs. Three reagents were used for the aggregation studies: collagen, arachidonic acid, and adenosine diphos-phate (ADP). The parameters measured to evaluate response to collagen included delay in the aggregation response, slope of the aggregation curve, maximum aggregation, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) secretion. The platelets of dogs with malignancies exhibited significantly ( P < .05) shorter delays in the aggregation response, higher maximum aggregation, and higher ATP secretion when compared to control dogs. For the weaker reagents, ADP and arachidonic acid, the lowest concentration resulting in aggregation was determined. Platelets of dogs with malignancies tended to aggregate in response to lower concentrations of ADP than did those of controls ( P < .05). The response of platelets to the concentrations of arachidonic acid employed in this study was poor, with few samples achieving measurable aggregation. The findings of this study suggest that dogs with malignancies have hyperaggregable platelets.  相似文献

The effect of feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) on platelet aggregation and 14C-serotonin release induced by threshold levels of four agonists (adenosine diphosphate [ADP], collagen, arachidonic acid, and epinephrine) was examined in vitro in ten specific-pathogen-free cats. Purified suspensions of FIPV added to stirred platelet suspensions (virus to platelet ratio equal to 1:320) 1 minute prior to the addition of agonist potentiated the ADP-induced aggregation response by greater than 100% in seven cats. Platelet 14C-serotonin release was increased by greater than 100% in four cats. Collagen-induced platelet aggregation was enhanced in ten cats while collagen-induced 14C-serotonin release was enhanced in eight cats. Potentiation of arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation was observed in three cats, two of which demonstrated enhanced platelet 14C-serotonin release. Although epinephrine-induced platelet aggregation was enhanced in five cats, the samples displayed only fine microaggregates. Enhanced 14C-serotonin release from platelets in response to epinephrine was not demonstrated. Interaction with the outer platelet membrane and internalization of viral particles within the surface-connected open canalicular system were demonstrated by electron microscopy within 5 minutes of the addition of virus to platelet suspensions with or without added agonists. Decreasing the virus concentration by ten- or one hundred-fold abolished the potentiating effect observed previously, while increasing the concentration tenfold resulted in direct platelet activation in the absence of agonist.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献
