Figure 1From: VacA, the vacuolating cytotoxin of Helicobacter pylori, binds to multimerin 1 on human plateletsVacA induces CD62P expression on platelets. PRP were incubated with 120nM VacA or H-VacA. After 30Â minutes, PRP were staining with anti-CD62PE or mouse control IgG1-PE for 20Â minutes in the dark. Platelets were mixed with 1% paraformaldehyde in PBS, and samples were analyzed with a flow cytometer. The data expressed as per cent increase over the control are compiled from 6 experiments.Back to article page
