The 1C2 antibody reacts with CD42d (Platelet Glycoprotein V, GPV), a glycoprotein of 74 kDa in the mouse and 88 kDa in the rat. GPV noncovalently associates with GPIb (CD42b and c) and GPIX (CD42a) to form a receptor for von Willebrand factor on megakaryocytes and resting platelets. The binding sites for von Willebrand factor and thrombin have been localized to the GPIbachain (CD42b) of the GPIb-V-IX complex. GPV is cleaved by thrombin to release a 69- kDa soluble fragment, which contains the epitope recognized by mAb 1C2. The 1C2 antibody does not cross-react with human platelets nor with other hematopoietic cells of the mouse and rat. Anti-mouse CD41 mAb MWReg30 (Cat. No. 553848, for the FITC conjugate) may be used with mAb 1C2 to monitor mouse megakaryocyte maturation.
