title: The platelet protein phosphorylation induced by a monoclonal antibody against human platelets (TP82).
abstract: In human platelets, a monoclonal anti-human platelet antibody (TP82) induced platelet aggregation and release of granules (i.e., serotonin, platelet factor 4, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase). The release reaction occurred even in the absence of aggregation and was preceded by not only the protein phosphorylation, but the transient formation of endogenous diacylglycerol (DG). These results suggest that polyphosphoinositide breakdown plays an essential role in antibody-induced release of platelet granules.
