Figure 7Defects in MLC phosphorylation and fibrin clot retraction in SHIP1-deficient platelets. (
A) MLC phosphorylation was monitored by Western blotting with an anti–phospho-MLC (Ser 19) antibody. The phosphorylation level was estimated by densitometry analysis of Western blots, and the results are expressed as percentages of the maximum phosphorylation and are mean ± SEM of 3 independent experiments. *Significant difference (
P < 0.05) versus WT, according to 1-tailed Student’s
t test. (
B) Photographs show the extent of clot retraction in WT and SHIP1-deficient PRP samples treated with 2 IU/ml thrombin and 0.1 μg/ml atroxin. Results are representative of 2 independent experiments.
