Rabbit Platelets do not Express Fc Receptors for IgG
Abstract
Human platelets are activated by IgG immune complexes and undergo platelet aggregation and the release of granular contents. Recently, the receptor for IgG on human platelets has been identified and characterised. In contrast, it is not known if rabbit platelets carry Fc receptors. In this report we describe investigations to detect the presence of an Fc receptor on rabbit platelets. The Fc receptor was investigated using functional assays …
