title: Studies on monoclonal antibodies against human platelets--a monoclonal antibody to human platelet glycoprotein I--SZ-2.
abstract: A monoclonal antibody, SZ-2, reacts specifically on human platelets and megakaryocytes. The platelets from 10 normal donors are bound to 15,200 +/- 4,100 SZ-2 molecules/platelet. The antigen recognized by SZ-2 is chymotrypsin-sensitive but neuraminidase-insensitive, and has been identified as glycoprotein Ib (GPIb) by an affinity chromatography technique. SZ-2 is different from other monoclonal antibodies to GPIb. It inhibits not only platelet aggregation induced by ristocetin, but also platelet aggregation induced by collagen (type I) and by PAF. SZ-2 also inhibits platelet serotonin and beta-thromboglobulin release in response to these stimuli.
