Flow cytometry is largely used for the immunophenotyping and quantification of several cell types or related components including platelets and extracellular vesicles. Platelets and platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) are receiving increased interest in inflammatory diseases including sepsis. Thus, in this chapter, we will describe protocols for the flow cytometry analysis of platelets, platelet/neutrophils hetero aggregates, and PEVs mainly focusing on the evaluation of the surface expression of some IL-1 receptor (ILR) and Toll-like receptor (TLR) family members. © 2023.
