Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of lectins with human platelets Effects of platelet stimulation by thrombin and ristocetin
TL;DR: This lectin stimulates platelets by a mechanism which closely mimics thrombin activation and is independent of intercellular crosslinking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aggregation of platelets by muscle actin. A multivalent interaction model of platelet aggregation by ADP
Victoria D. Scarborough,Victoria D. Scarborough,Harvey R. Bradford,Harvey R. Bradford,Pankaj Ganguly,Pankaj Ganguly +5 more
TL;DR: Filamentous muscle actin aggregated blood platelets while G-actin was ineffective and this aggregation could be blocked by ATP suggesting a possible role of actin-bound ADP in this process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of surface sialic acid in the interaction of wheat germ agglutinin with human platelets
Pankaj Ganguly,Nancy G. Fossett +1 more
TL;DR: Since the terminal sialic acid has been implicated in the clearance of platelets from the circulation, wheat germ agglutinin may prove to be a useful tool to explore those clinical conditions in which platelet survival is shortened.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization and origin of fibrinogen in blood platelets. A review with recent data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of Thrombin-Induced Platelet Aggregation by a Derivative of Wheat Germ Agglutinin. Evidence for a Physiologic Receptor of Thrombin in Human Platelets
Pankaj Ganguly,Nancy G. Fossett +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that (A) the thrombin receptor in human platelets is different from the ristocetin or ristOCetin-von Willebrand factor receptor and (B) the 74,000 dalton glycoprotein may be a physiologic receptor of throm bin in human Platelets.
