Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9641176A1] A method for determining the activation level of platelets and other types of blood cells that undergo activation by ELISA and other immunoassay techniques includes the step of reacting a sample containing the blood cells in a liquid phase with an excess quantity of an activation-specific primary antibody prior to allowing the cells in the sample to bind to a solid surface. This differs from typical ELISA procedures, wherein the cells are bound to the surface of a plastic test tube or microtiter plate prior to addition of the primary antibody. It has been discovered according to the invention that binding the cells to a surface prior to reaction with the primary antibody changes the activation level of the cells, making the assay less accurate. In addition, whole platelet ELISA, like flow cytometric analyses, can sensitively detect activated platelets.
