Thrombin generation curves for platelets and VSMCs. Apoptosis was induced in VSMC-myc cells by serum deprivation for 24 hours. The detached apoptotic bodies were washed and resuspended to give a final concentration in the thrombin generation assay of 2.24 × 109/L. Thrombin generation was measured for 6 minutes (□) and compared with 50 × 109/L unactivated (○) or calcium-ionophore activated (⋄) platelets or buffer C alone (▵).
