Figure 4.
Standard confocal microscopy showed that MPs increased fibrin clot density in the severe HA plasma model. (a) Fibrin clot structure in the severe HA plasma model and PNP control, with (MPs 2) and without (MPs 0) addition of MPs (2 × 104 MPs/µL plasma). Images shown are representative slices from optical sections (scale bar = 25 µm); (b) Fibrin clot density analyzed by using Fiji software. The clot samples were all prepared in the presence of OHP reagent. Data are means ± SEM, n = 3 fibrin clots (8 optical stacks/clot). ****p < 0.0001 compared to severe HA model without addition of MPs.
