Population

180 normal healthy individuals, plus various washed organ samples

Intervention

Measurement of beta-thromboglobulin (beta-TG) concentration by radioimmunoassay

Outcome

Plasma beta-TG concentration range and its relationship with platelet parameters and agesurrogate

Beta-thromboglobulin is a platelet-specific protein with a normal plasma range of 10-65 mg/ml, and its measurement may be useful for assessing platelet participation in disease processes.
