Isolation of the platelet releasate

Methods Mol Biol. 2007:357:307-11. doi: 10.1385/1-59745-214-9:307.

Abstract

This chapter describes an approach to isolate, separate, and identify the contents of the platelet releasate, a fraction highly enriched for platelet granular and exosomal contents. Investigation into such a fraction will improve our understanding of platelet interactions with other cells, vascular remodeling, coagulation, and vessel growth.
