Summary

Automatic Translation

This protocol describes in detail all the steps involved in obtaining leukofilter-derived CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors and their in vitro differentiation and maturation into proplatelet-bearing megakaryocytes that are able to release platelets in the culture medium. This procedure is useful for in-depth analysis of cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling megakaryopoiesis.
