Figure 5. Prothrombinase binding to PS-expressing RBCs. WB was drawn via phlebotomy into 0.1 mg/mL of CTI, centrifuged at 150g, and then washed and treated with NEM and ionophore and the indicated reagent, as described in “Methods.” Treated cells were diluted to 2 × 106 cell/mL in RBC wash buffer and examined in a flow cytometer. Fluorescence gates were set using nonimmune IgG-FITC (A). PS exposure was detected with FITC-EGRck-fXa either in the absence (B) or presence (C) of saturating fVa. PS exposure was detected on untreated washed RBCs with FITC-EGRck-fXa/fVa (D [histogram] and E [scatter plot with PE-cd235a]).
