Figure 8. Characterization of microparticles (MPs) from plasma of control and UA patients by flow cytometry.
(A) Trucount beads and calibrator beads (1 µm in diameter) were gated in the upper two windows respectively. MPs are particles with size between 0.1 and 1 µm and gated in window P2. (B) Representative flow cytometry plot displaying MPs from the plasma of controls and UA patients stained with AnnexinV-FITC and anti-CD31-phycoerythrin. Annexin V+ CD31+ MPs were gated in window P2.
