Abstract: The synthesis and release of PAF by keratinocytes from normal human skin was investigated in vitro.When keratinotytes in suspension (1×108 cells) were stimulated with 2M Ca++ ionophore A23187,they synthesized a material that aggregated aspirin-treated washed rabbit platelet and way identified as PAF by four methods.
