Interaction of ristocetin and bovine plasma with guinea pig megakaryocytes: a means to enrich megakaryocytes based on membrane rather than physical characteristics.
We have investigated whether megakaryocytes can be aggregated by ristocetin and bovine plasma and whether such aggregation can be used as a step in the purification of megakaryocytes from marrow cell suspensions. Guinea pig marrow cell suspensions were first enriched for megakaryocytes by density equilibrium centrifugation in continuous Percoll density gradients. The megakaryocyte-enriched marr...
متن کاملInhibition of Ristocetin - induced Platelet
Ristocetin and vancomycin are structurally similar glycopeptide antibiotics. Both vancomycin and ristocetin in high concentrations (3.0 mg/mI) cause the precipitation of fibrinogen, plasminogen, and IgG from platelet-poor plasma (PPP). In contrast to ristocetin, vancomycin (0.5-1.5 mg/mI) does not agglutinate platelets in normal platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or formalintreated platelets in the pre...
متن کاملDimerization of A82846B, vancomycin and ristocetin: influence on antibiotic complexation with cell wall model peptides.
The thermodynamics of glycopeptide antibiotic dimerization have been studied by means of sedimentation equilibrium, using A82846B, vancomycin, ristocetin and complexes formed with several cell wall model peptides. These results indicate that vancomycin dimerization can be strongly promoted in two ways: i) stabilization of the antibiotic conformation in which the carbonyl group of residue three ...

متن کاملIncreased shear stress- and ristocetin-induced binding of von Willebrand factor to platelets in cord compared with adult plasma.
Multiple indications do exist that the extensive neonatal platelet adhesion and aggregation, and the shorter closure time of neonatal compared with adult whole blood in the platelet function analyzer 100 are attributable to the physiological high plasma concentrations and high concentrations of unusually large von Willebrand factor (vWf) multimers in neonates. However, to date the direct experi...
