Receptor-mediated functional effects in platelets have been investigated, but reliable conclusions are tampered due to heterogeneous study designs with variable platelet preparation methods. This study compares TLR2- and TLR4-dependent platelet responsiveness in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and in washed platelets (WPs) %K toll-like receptor %K lipopolysaccharides %K chemokine %K platelet preparation %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6524919/
