Platelet microparticle membranes have 50- to 100-fold higher specific procoagulant activity than activated platelets

Platelet microparticles (PMPs) are small vesicles released from blood platelets upon activation. The procoagulant activity of PMPs has been previously mainly characterized by their ability to bind coagulation factors VIII and Va in reconstructed systems...
