We have studied the mechanism of interaction between soluble von Willebrand factor (vWF), labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and platelets exposed 60 shear in a cone-and-plate viscometer. A flow cytometer calibrated with fluorescent bead standards was used 60 calculate the number of molecules associated with each platelet in suspension. To validate the methods and reagents used, binding of the same labeled vWF was assessed in the presence of ristocetin or alpha-thrombin and found to be saturable, with a narrow and symmetric distribution on >90% of the platelets. As expected, essentially all bound ligand interacted exclusively with platelet membrane glycoprotein (GP) Ib alpha in the presence of ristocetin and with GP IIb-IIIa after stimulation with alpha-thrombin. In contrast, only a minor proportion (
