Targets for therapeutic intervention in platelet–leukocyte adhesion and in the platelet-mediated recruitment of leukocytes: (A) Therapeutic agents that inhibit the adhesive interactions between platelets and leukocytes or which inhibit the activation of platelets by antagonising platelet derived positive feedback loops which amplify the platelet response to primary activating stimuli. (B) Therapeutic agents that inhibit platelet adhesion to the vessel wall by either antagonising adhesive pathways directly or by inhibiting endothelial cell activation in response to platelet borne activating stimuli.
