homeostasis/metabolism
| N |
• mice show no overt bleeding and have normal plasma and platelet von Willebrand factor levels and normal bleeding time and wound blood loss after tail transection (up to 900 s) relative to wild-type controls
|
|
• in high shear flow assays using whole blood, platelets show decreased adhesion to Horm collagen and fail to form the large adherent aggregates observed with wild-type platelets
|
|
• in the FeCl3-induced mesenteric vessel injury model, mice have a significantly lower number of platelets localized to the vessel wall 3-5 min post-injury and show delayed appearance of the first large thrombus (greater or equal to 20 um)
• 3 of 7 mice fail to form a large thrombus; when large thrombi are formed, small platelet aggregates dissociate rapidly
• all (7 of 7) mice fail to form an occlusive thrombus by 40 min, whereas all (11 of 11) wild-type controls form an occlusive thrombus by 10 to 35 min after injury

hematopoietic system
| N |
• mice show normal platelet, erythrocyte and leukocyte counts relative to wild-type controls
|
|
• in high shear flow assays using whole blood, platelets show decreased adhesion to Horm collagen and fail to form the large adherent aggregates observed with wild-type platelets
