Platelet aggregation was studied using citrated PRP. Results are expressed as maximum light transmission changes. The platelet count for both the patient and controls (n = 6; ± SD) was 60 000/μL. The results for the patient are typical of those obtained on 4 different occasions. Collagen was from Sigma.
