  • Title: Platelet dense granule release reaction monitored by high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorometric determination of endogenous serotonin.
    Author: Anderson GM, Hall LM, Yang JX, Cohen DJ.
    Journal: Anal Biochem; 1992 Oct; 206(1):64-7. PubMed ID: 1456443.
    Abstract:
    The platelet dense granule release reaction was monitored by measuring the serotonin content of platelets collected by filtration following release. Sensitive HPLC-fluorometric analysis permitted release to be assessed using small (25-50 microliters) volumes of plasma and whole blood. Release could be examined for periods as short as 1 s due to the rapid stoppage effected by filtration. The half-life of thrombin-stimulated (1 U/ml) release was 2-3 s, the EC50 values observed for thrombin-stimulated release over a 60-s release period were 0.01-0.03 U/ml for diluted whole blood and plasma samples.
