STABILISATION OF BIOLOGICAL CELL MARKERS

摘要

The invention provides compositions which stabilise the expression of cell surface markers. The invention further provides methods and kits comprising such compositions for use in stabilising the expression of cell surface markers. The invention is especially concerned with compositions for use in stabilising the expression of cell surface markers (such as cell activation markers) present on blood cells, such as platelets. The invention extends to methods, apparatus and kits for detecting platelet activation, and to kits for monitoring the efficacy of anti-thrombotic treatment regimes.
