Poly P induced platelet aggregation. A platelet aggregation assay showed that long-chain poly P as well as short-chain poly P induced platelet aggregation and the effect of long-chain poly P on platelet aggregation was stronger than that of ADP (a). An SEM analysis indicated the morphological changes in naïve platelets by treatment with poly P or ADP (b). The arrow shows the insoluble particles, suspected of being poly P nanoparticles. The error bars and numbers show the standard deviation.
