Abstract
Histophilus somni-induced platelet aggregation was inhibited by antagonists of the platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor but not inhibitors of PAF synthesis. In addition, H. somni cells expressing phosphorylcholine (ChoP) induced aggregation, while ChoP(-) H. somni cells did not. This suggests that H. somni ChoP may induce platelet aggregation via interactions with the PAF receptor.Entities:
