Role of divalent ions on platelet adhesion to decorin.
Adhesion of gel-filtered platelets to decorin-coated dishes was analyzed in the presence of 2 mM MgCl2, (Mg++), 2 mM EDTA (EDTA), 2 mM CaCl2 (Ca++), or 2 mM ZnCl2 (Zn++). Results are expressed as percentage of adherent platelets and represent the mean ± SD of 3 separate experiments.
