Figure 3 Percentage of monocytes with bound platelets (left panel) and number of platelets bound per monocyte (right panel) in normal volunteers (control = no clopidogrel) and in acute coronary syndrome patients before and 24 h after a loading dose of clopidogrel. Either adenosine diphosphate (ADP) (10 µmol/l) or thrombin receptor agonist peptide (TRAP) (10 µmol/l) served as the platelet agonist (n = 21). *p < 0.01 vs. control. p < 0.01 vs. pre-drug.
