Figure 5. Confocal microscopy for calumenin, cyclophilin A, and secretogranin III. (A) Platelets were adhered to fibrinogen-coated slides for 5 (platelets resting) and 60 minutes (platelets activated and spread). A granular staining pattern similar to thrombospondin was observed for cyclophilin A and secretogranin III at both time points, whereas a more diffuse pattern was observed for calumenin. (B) Activated platelets labeled with CD41 and a rhodamine-labeled secondary antibody, and dual stained with antibodies to secretogranin III, cyclophilin A, and calumenin (labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate [FITC]–conjugated secondary antibodies). (C) Secondary antibodies alone. Original magnification × 63.
