The inhibitory effects of ADP scavengers on serotonine secretion evoked by FcγRIIA is reversed by epinephrine.
Platelets were previously loaded with 5-hydroxy[14C]tryptamine, and secretion was determined as described in “Materials and methods.” A3P5PS, CP-CPK, and CP-CPK and 1-μmol/L epinephrine were added 1 minute before stimulation by FcγRIIA cross-linking. The effect of 1-μmol/L epinephrine alone was also assessed. Data are the mean of 2 independent experiments. (A) Stimulation by FcγRIIA cross-linking; (B) stimulation by HIT sera.
