Platelets in inflammatory exudates.
In exudates of implanted sponges in the rat there are apparent accumulations of blood platelets, assessed by the light microscope, and of radioactivity from labelled platelets administered systemically. The use of more specific techniques for platelet detection showed no evidence of intact blood platelets in the exudate and the radioactivity was not associated preferentially with cellular components in the exudate.
