homeostasis/metabolism
• platelets from mutant mice do not aggregate in response to ADP, low doses of collagen or a thromboxane A2 receptor agonist where wild-type platelets aggregate to these stimuli
• wild-type platelets transmit less light upon exposure to EDTA, whereas platelets from mutants do not, indicating that platelets do not undergo any shape change
|
• mutants injected with collagen and ADP to induce thrombi all survived for the 1 hour observation period, while 90% of wild-type mice died within 5 minutes of injection
|
• after tail tip amputation, mutant mice continue to bleed for 24 minutes, while wild-type control the bleeding after 10 minutes
