Table 1 Platelet parameters measured in this study

From: Flow cytometric analysis of platelets type 2 diabetes mellitus reveals ‘angry’ platelets

Cluster of differentiation

Glycoprotein (GP)

Function

CD41

GPIIb

Anti-CD41a reacts with platelet membrane GPIIb in the intact complex with GPIIIa but not with GPIIb or GPIIIa separately. Useful in the identification and enumeration of platelets

CD42

GPIb

Anti-CD42b reacts with platelet membrane GPIb

CD62

P-Selectin

Anti-CD62 reacts with α-granule membrane protein which is expressed on the surface of activated platelet

CD63

GPIV

Anti-CD63 reacts with lysosomal granule-membrane glycoprotein that is expressed on surface of activated platelet

  1. In this study CD41-FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate) and CD41, Cd42b, CD62, CD63-PE (phycoerythrin) was used
