Fig. 6From: Platelet storage induces accelerated desialylation of platelets and increases hepatic thrombopoietin productionQuantitation of hepatic TPO mRNA expression using real-time qPCR. Values in these graphs represent the relative ratio to fresh (D + 0) platelets. 1 × 106 HepG2 cells were incubated with 1 × 107 isolated platelets for 6 h. Closed circles represent the platelets stored at 22 °C and open circles represent the platelets stored at 4 °C (n = 5). *P < 0.05 represent statistical significanceBack to article page
