Expression of glycoproteins on the platelet surface was determined by flow cytometry. Diluted whole blood from the indicated mice was incubated with FITC-labeled antibodies at saturating concentrations for 15 minutes at room temperature, and platelets were analyzed directly. Data are expressed as mean fluorescence intensity ± SD (n = 4) and are representative of 3 individual experiments.

*

Mean platelet size (mean FSC) was determined by forward-scatter characteristics.
