Immunohistochemical reactivity of anti-platelet monoclonal antibodies.
Ten mAbs of preliminary clusters PC13 and PC27 with specificity for bovine platelets were studied by immunohistochemistry. Cryostat sections of bovine lymph node, spleen, thymus, small intestine, liver, kidney and smears of bone marrow cells were used. Five mAbs (CAPP2, IVA30, IVA125, IL-A164 and IL-A166) assigned to cluster PC13 (CD41/CD61) stained platelets and non-lymphocytic cells of various tissues. Our data confirm the presence of two specificities in PC27: three mAbs (IVA120, IVA197 and IVA198) specific for fibrinogen strongly reacted with the endothelial and reticular tissues whereas the other two mAbs Co-3D1D4 and Buf13 (WC13) were negative.
