Platelet adhesion to the damaged vessel wall is the first step in haemostasis and thrombosis (SixmaandWester1977;Baumgartneret al. 1976). Platelet adhesion is followed by spreading and activation, resulting in secretion of theα-granula and aggregate formation. The severity of the platelet reaction is dependent on the extent of the vessel wall lesion and on the relative reactivity of the components that have become exposed to the flowing blood. Platelets play an important role in the atherosclerotic narrowing of arteries by promoting thrombus formation, leading to myocardial infarction, stroke and angina, but also to a further development of atherosclerosis (DaviesandThomas1981;Falk1985). The adhesion of platelets occurs under flow conditions which require a unique cell adhesion mechanism: platelet adhesion has to occur rapidly and resist shear forces. This has led to the development of a unique set of ligands and receptors. Platelet vessel wall interaction and subsequent platelet-platelet interaction are mediated by glycoproteins on the platelet outer membrane and by adhesive proteins present in plasma, plateletα-granules and the vessel wall.
