The effect of metalloproteinase inhibition on posttransfusion recovery by ESPs in mice. (A) Schema of the experimental design. (B) 2 h after transfusion of 3 × 106 ESPs, using a 129Ola strain mouse model in which platelet numbers are severely reduced, blood obtained from the retroorbital venous plexus was treated with 3.8% sodium citrate and subjected to flow cytometry to detect GFP+ platelets (ESPs) among all αIIb+ platelets. Additional serial evaluations were performed 24, 48, and 72 h after transfusion. Pretreatment with GM6001 increased the ratio of GFP+ ESPs per a recipient at all points examined. Results are the mean ± SEM from three independent experiments.
