Abstract
In this investigation, the role of PG-endoperoxides and TA/sub 2/ in interaction of platelets and a collagen-coated surface was studied. For this purpose, the effects of exogenous AA, of U46619, a stable analog of PG endoperoxides, which simulates the action of PG endoperoxides and TA/sub 2/ on platelets at the receptor level, and of aspirin, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor, on platelet-surface interaction were investigated. The quantity of TA/sub 2/ synthesized in the platelets was determined by measuring accumulation of its stable product TB/sub 2/. After adhesion of the platelets the incubation medium was removed, nonadherent platelets were destroyed by freezing and thawing, and TB/sub 2/ was determined by radioimmunoassay.
