ELMO1 regulates thrombus formation in vitro. Representative light microscopic image of thrombus formation on a collagen-coated surface (A) and percent thrombus area (B). Whole blood from WT littermate controls and ELMO1−/− mice was perfused over a collagen (50 μg/mL)–coated surface at arterial shear rate 1000 s−1 or venous shear rate 200 s−1 for 4 minutes. The direction of flow was right to left. (B) Images were analyzed using ImageJ, and data are presented as percent thrombus area ± SE. Data were analyzed by Student t test (*P < .05). WT and ELMO1−/−, n = 3.
