Andrew Larry Frelinger III on Activation of Platelets in Flow Cytometry
Andrew Larry Frelinger III, Director Emeritus, Center for Platelet Research Studies Corresponding Faculty, Dept. of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, shared on LinkedIn:
”I am very pleased to share this publication which came about through a great collaboration with the Steve Watson lab.
The paper explores activation of GPVI, CLEC-2 and PEAR1 using multivalent nanobodies.
Special thanks to Rachel Lamerton for spearheading the work, Elenya Martin for preparing the nanobodies, and Jax Perry for the performing and analyzing the spectral cytometry assays.
These fantastic tools may aid in the development of assays to assess platelet function disorders.
Enjoy!”
