Abstract
BLOOD platelets from patients with thrombasthenia do not adhere to glass in either a whole blood system or in a platelet-rich plasma system to which adenosine diphosphate (ADP) has been added, and they fail to adhere to each other in the presence of ADP, noradrenaline, thrombin, or connective tissue extract1,2. The electrophoretic mobility of thrombasthenic platelets has been shown to be normal3, but hitherto the changes in mobility which normally occur in the presence of aggregating agents4 have not been studied in thrombasthenia.
