Platelet activation studies on polymeric surfaces by Suzliana Sulaimi

“…Platelet activation effects varies with the nature of topography, in this case, pillars are studied. A series of immunofluorescence staining of platelets was performed to get the optimized parameters; which are 1 wash before stain as shown by the higher intensity and minimal presence of debris as compared to 2 and 0 wash at dilution factors of 1:1 and 4:1 for CD 62P and PAC-1 respectively as the intensity shift between the negative and positive control samples were more significant. …”
