That process is inhibited by the drug clopidogrel.
These cells express glycoprotein 2Â­bÂ­3Â­a on their surfaces, which is targeted by the monoclonal antibody abciximab. That integrin changes conformation when the other surface receptor P2Y12 binds ADP, which is secreted from dense bodies inside these cells upon activation. That process is inhibited by the drug clopidogrel. These cells can be activated by a compound generated by rearrangement of Prostaglandin H2. Splenectomy can be used to resolve the (*) idiopathic purpura accompanied by a drop in the blood levels of these cells, which is very common in children. A "normal" level of these cells is 150,000 to 400,000 per microliter of blood. These particles are enucleate and are produced by megakaryocytes. For 10 points, name these particles in the blood that clump to form blood clots.
