---|---|---|---|---|---|
Oemcke et al 200953 | Human | Gradient centrifugation | Glucose oxidase (60 min) or IL8 (60 min) or M1 protein-fibrinogen complexes (60 min) | Chromogenic assay for PK hydrolysis in plasma | NETs bind FXII and HK, and promote PK hydrolysis in plasma |
Fuchs et al 201098 | Human | Gradient centrifugation | PMA (4 h), glucose oxydase (1U/ml, 4 h) | Electron and fluorescent microscopy after flowing plasma, suspension of platelets or whole blood over NETs seeded in a flow chamber or on glass cover slide | NETs bind platelets and promote platelet activation and aggregation. |
NETs bind RBCs, VWF, fibrinogen, and fibronectin. | |||||
NETs promote resistance to tPA-mediated fibrinolysis | |||||
Gould et al 2014101 | Human | Gradient centrifugation | PMA 150 min | Thrombin generation in PPP or PRP | NETs enhance thrombin generation |
Noubouossie et al 201724 | Human | Magnetic bead-based negative selection | PMA, calcium ionophore and LPS. | Contact system in buffer | NETS do not trigger contact system activation in buffer, do not trigger thrombin generation in plasma, and do not amplify low TF-initiated TG in PFP. |
4 h | Thrombin generation in PFP and PRP | ||||
Ivanov et al 201757 | Human | Gradient centrifugation | PMA: 90 min | Thrombin generation in plasma | NETs shorten lag time of thrombin generation. |
Wang et al 2018102 | Mouse | Gradient centrifugation | PMA: 3 h | Thrombin generation in plasma | NETs form complexes with microvesicles to enhance TG in plasma |
