SummaryActivated platelets can be detected by measuring platelet-bound fibrinogen in a whole blood, flow cytometric assay, using a fluorescently-conjugated polyclonal antibody.Fibrinogen binding to unstimulated platelets from normal subjects was low in this assay, as was expression of the CD63 antigen. Single cell counting of samples prepared for flow cytometric analysis showed platelet aggregates do not form during the assay procedure. Immune complexes were not seen, and fibrinogen binding to the platelets was unaffected by the CD32 MAb, IV.3. Artefactual activation of the unfixed samples could be minimised by control of phlebotomy, time and temperature of incubation. Variations in platelet count in the range 140–430 × 109 1-1 and in plasma fibrinogen in the range 2–6 g 1-1 did not affect the assay results.Comparison of fibrinogen binding with expression of CD63 antigen on normal platelets, stimulated with agonists in vitro, demonstrated that fibrinogen binding detects an earlier stage of platelet activation.Platelet bound fibrinogen was shown to be sensitive in detecting small numbers of activated platelets in clinical samples in twelve patients on intensive care, four undergoing haemofiltration. The patients had a significantly higher median percentage of circulating platelets with bound fibrinogen (p <0.005), but fibrinogen binding was significantly lower (p <0.02) in response to 10-5 M ADP, compared to twelve age-matched normal Controls.
