Reacts with gpIIb in the intact complex with gpIIIa, but not with IIb or IIIa, separately. Inhibits platelet aggregation induced by thrombin, collagen and ADP. The molecular weight of the recognized complex is 135 kDa/95 kDa.
Characteristics
MAb to CD41 gpIIb IIIa, Monoclonal antibody to CD41 gpIIb IIIa
Fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry: 2 µg/5x106 platelets/test Immunohistochemistry: Working dilution: 1:50 - 1:100. Only suitable on frozen sections or cell smears. Not recommended for use in Western blot. Each laboratory should determine an optimum working titer for use in its particular application. Other applications have not been tested but use in such assays should not necessarily be excluded.
