* Hirudin-anticoagulated blood was pre-incubated with the BTKi for 60 min before stimulation with low collagen concentrations (0.2–0-5 µg/mL) inducing the same degree of submaximal platelet aggregation as maximal concentrations of atherosclerotic plaque homogenate or with plaque homogenate (after fenebrutinib pre-incubation). Platelet aggregation was measured in blood by multiple electrode aggregometry (MEA) [42,43]. ** Hirudin-anticoagulated blood was pre-incubated with the BTKi for 60 min before CD32 cross-linking. ***, closure time was measured with the platelet-function analyzer (PFA; collagen/epinephrine cartridge) [48]. ****, x-fold over the IC50 for inhibition of GPVI-mediated aggregation. nd: not detected, no increase of closure time was observed by testing less than 10-fold higher concentrations of zanubrutinib (1 µM) and evobrutinib (10 µM). Higher concentrations were not tested. no: no increase of closure time was observed by testing up to 78,000-fold higher concentrations of fenebrutinib.
