Abstract
A method for the separation of platelets on the basis of their size has been developed using counterflow centrifugation. Platelets were separated, free of plasma proteins and other cells, into seven subpopulations. The smallest‐sized platelets, designated as Fraction 1, had a mean platelet volume (MPV) of 3.94 ± 0.60 μm 3 (SD). Each successive fraction had a progressively larger MPV. The MPV for the largest‐sized platelets, designated Fraction 7, was 8.19 ± 0.64 μm 3 . The MPV for the original platelets prior to fractionation was 6.57 ± 0.61 μm 3 . The mean density of Fraction 1 platelets was 1.067 ± 0.002 g/cm 3 , while Fraction 7 had a mean density of 1.072 ± 0.001 g/cm 3 . Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that Fraction 1 had 4.3 ± 0.9 dense bodies per platelet, and Fraction 7 had 12.6 ± 2.4 dense bodies per platelet. Platelet LDH activity showed that the Fraction 1 platelets had 4.77 ± 0.92 iu per 10 10 platelets; Fraction 7 platelets had 14.88 ± 1.23 iu per 10 10 platelets. The LDH activity in the platelets before separation into subpopulations was 9.47 ± 1.45 iu per 10 10 platelets.
