Fig. 3. Platelet-dense granule secretion is inhibited by PECAM-1 signaling. / Platelets were loaded with [3H]5-HT before stimulation with Cvx (62.5 ng/mL) or thrombin (0.1 U/mL). Where required, PECAM-1 was cross-linked an agonist was added (as described in “Materials and methods”). Secretion of [3H]5-HT into cell medium was measured using scintillation spectrometry. [3H]5-HT release is expressed as a percentage of total tissue content after subtraction of basal secretion values. Results represent mean ± SE (n = 3). Student t test was used to compare PECAM-1 cross-linked and non–cross-linked sample for statistical significance. *P < .05. PECAM-1 XL, PECAM-1 cross-linking
