Platelet Esoteric Testing
A Case Study
Flow Cytometry Studies

June 2010
We first look at the possibility of a surface deficiency. Platelet flow cytometry study is the gold stand test for platelet surface deficiency. In this case, the patient had no deficiency of glycoprotein IIb IIIa, Ib-V-IX or collagen receptor deficiency. When platelets are activated by either thrombin analog sTRAP or ADP, platelets had normal glycoprotein IIb IIIa response, but slightly decreased surface P-selectin expression.
