title: Comparative characteristics of platelet lysates from different donors.
abstract: We studied the effect of platelet lysates from different donors on fibroblast growth in culture. In most samples (40 of 50), the growth-stimulating characteristics were greater than in 10% FCS, but every ninth sample exhibited low mitogenic activity. A weak dependence between platelet concentration and total protein content was noted, but no correlation was found between these parameters and fibroblast growth in culture.
