Rabbits in which thrombocytosis had been produced by five daily transfusions of platelet concentrates had suppressed endogenous thrombopoiesis, as reflected by decreased incorporation of selenomethionine-75Se (75SeM) into the circulating platelet mass. Rabbits in which endogenous thrombopoiesis had been suppressed by transfusion-induced thrombocytosis were used to detect thrombopoietic activity in rabbit plasma. Thrombopoietic activity was demonstrated in the plasma of both normal and thrombocytopenic donor rabbits. A dose response relationship was observed between the incorporation of 75SeM into platelets and the dose of plasma administered. Infusion of 20-150 ml of plasma from thrombocytopenic donors increased the incorporation of 75SeM into platelets from 52 to 107% above control values. A dose response effect also was seen after infusion of normal plasma, but normal plasma produced less effect than comparable doses of plasma from thrombocytopenic donors.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
