Morphological and Functional Platelet Abnormalities in Berkeley Sickle Cell Mice
2008
Abstract Berkeley sickle cell mice are used as animal models of human sickle cell disease but there are no reports of platelet studies in this model. Since humans with sickle cell disease have platelet abnormalities, we studied platelet morphology and function in Berkeley mice (SS). We observed elevated mean platelet forward angle light scatter (FSC) values (an indirect measure of platelet volume) in SS compared to wild type (WT) (37 ± 3.2 vs. 27 ± 1.4, mean ± SD; p 3 /μl vs. 1151 ± 162 × 10 3 /μl; p p p
