Abstract
RECENT evidence has indicated the importance of the surface of blood platelets in initiating the chain reaction in relation to platelet aggregation, and the formation of haemostatic plugs and thrombi1–3. During an investigation of the coating of the platelet surface, we noticed an elaborate surface structure which differs from that of other blood cells (unpublished results).
