abstract：:The initial processes of platelet activation by platelet-activating factor (PAF) were observed by stopped-flow light scattering and fluorometry. The binding of PAF to rabbit platelets did not change the membrane fluidity, though it caused the removal of calcium from internal stores and induced concomitantly platelet s...
