Factor V activity of platelets: evidence for an activated factor V molecule and for a platelet activator [PDF]
Abstract This study was prompted by the observation that fresh platelet suspensions--prepared by gel filtration or albumin density gradient centrifugation--possessed only minimal factor V activity, whereas frozen-and-thawed platelet suspensions possessed striking factor V activity.
