Platelet adhesion to fibrinogen coated at various densities

Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2001:936:464-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1749-6632.2001.tb03532.x.

Abstract

Platelet adhesion to low-density coated fibrinogen induces greater protein tyrosine phosphorylation of SYK and FAK than adhesion to high-density coated fibrinogen, and leads to activation of integrin alpha IIb beta 3 on the luminal side of adherent platelets.
