Figure 5Platelet adhesion in blood vessels following MI or VEGF injection. (A and B) Microvessel containing an rbc with gap (arrows) between adjacent ECs (one of which appears electron lucent) in which two platelets (P) interact with intact basal lamina. Scale bar: 500 nm. (C and D) Gap in endothelial barrier (arrows) plugged by two degranulated platelets. Scale bar: 500 nm. (E and F) Platelet appears to interact with ECs to plug gap (arrow). Boxed regions in A, C, and E correspond with enlargements in B, D, and F, respectively. Scale bar: 500 nm.
