title: [Induction of native platelets aggregation by incubation media of the UV irradiated leukocytes: possible role of the photo-induced ADP release].
abstract: It is shown that during incubation after UV irradiation (22-24 hours at 7-9 degrees C) irradiated isolated rabbit leukocytes release the compound(s) which induces platelets aggregation in the native platelet rich plasma. Treatment of the incubation media of irradiated leukocytes by heat (5 minutes at 100 degrees C) does not significantly change its pro-aggregation activity. Treatment of the platelet-rich plasma by the incubation media of irradiated leukocytes without stirring induces the refractoriness of platelets to ADP. The platelets treated by ADP without stirring do not react to the incubation media of irradiated leukocytes. The absorption spectrum of the incubation media of irradiated leukocytes has the maximum at 260 nm similar to that of the absorption spectra of ADP. It is possible that UVradiation induces the ADP release from leukocytes during post-irradiation incubation. Accumulation of this substance in the incubation media may be the cause of its pro-aggregation activity for native blood platelets.
