Abstract
A visual assay to study megakaryocyte platelet release via proplatelet formation in vitro was established. Samples of megakaryocyte-enriched rat bone marrow were incubated (37 C) in RPMI-1640 medium with 15% autologous serum in specially prepared chambers. In the culture system, approximately 6% of megakaryocytes formed proplatelet processes within 24 hours. Inclusion of a heterologous antiplatelet antibody in the culture system inhibited proplatelet formation, compared with that in controls.
