Supports GP Ibα/P-selectin role in endotoxin-induced rolling; leaves open translation to human sepsis management.
Does immunoneutralization of GP Ibalpha or P-selectin attenuate endotoxin-induced interactions of platelets and leukocytes with venular endothelium in vivo?
This study provides the first in vivo evidence that glycoprotein Ibalpha is involved in endotoxin-induced microvascular rolling of platelets and leukocytes.
Katayama et al. (2000) studied this question.
