PP1 dose-dependently inhibits alboaggregin-A–induced platelet aggregation and 5-HT secretion. Platelets were preincubated for 3 minutes at 37°C with 0.25% DMSO or various concentrations of PP1 (indicated on the right of the graphs) before stimulation with alboaggregin-A (3.5 μg/mL) for 1 minute. Platelet aggregation was measured as a decrease in optical density of a stirred platelet suspension and 5-HT release was measured after loading cells with [3H]-5-HT. Both platelet aggregation and release of 5-HT are presented as percentages of the responses induced in the absence of PP1. Data presented are means ± SEM for 3 experiments.
