Tail vein injection of human PLTs into the NOD/SCID mice is superior to retro-orbital injection in terms of human PLT survival. Direct fixation of whole blood samples allows better reproducibility of results compared to the density gradient centrifugation method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
