Microparticles (MP) are lipid vesicles from platelets, leukocytes and endothelial cells that are involved in early thrombogenesis. We evaluated a detailed time-course analysis of MPs on thrombogenesis and the associated tissue factor (TF) activity in wildtype, in gene-deleted for E- and P-selectins and with high levels of P-selectin expression after the initiation of venous thrombosis in mice. Inferior vena cava (IVC) ligation was performed on C57BL/6 mice (n = 191,59 = wild-type [WT], 55 = gene-deleted for E- and P - selectins [knock-outs, EPKO] and 77 = elevated levels of soluble P-selectin, named Delta Cytoplasmic Tail (Delta CT). Animals were euthanised at various time points to assess MP production, origin and thrombus weight. MPs were re-injected into separate mice at concentrations of 80,000 and 160,000 units, as well as from different ages. In addition, MPs from thrombosed animals were pooled and TF activity quantitated using a chromogenic assay. Thrombus weight correlated negatively with MPs derived from leukocytes, and positively with IMPs derived from platelets for WT animals (p
