Intact platelets (5 × 108/mL) at pH 7.4, or Triton X-100 lysates (of equivalent platelet number) at pH 6.0 or 7.4 were mixed with thromb-UK (0.45 μmol/L) in the absence or presence of the indicated agonist for 1 hour at 37°C after which the platelets were pelleted and the supernatant or lysate assayed for S2444 activity in buffer at pH 8.0.
