Non-fibrin components in an acute ischemic stroke thrombus. Immunofluorescent staining of an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) thrombus for DNA (Hoechst 33342, blue), platelet glycoprotein Ib (GPIb; green), red blood cells (yellow), and von Willebrand factor (vWF) (pink) showing the abundance of non-fibrin components, several of which are potential pharmacological targets for improved thrombolysis.
