Platelet aggregation is mediated by the binding of fibrinogen (FGN) to the platelet GP IIb-IIIa complex. Receptor complex was purified from a solubilized platelet membrane fraction followed by lentil-lectin affinity chromatography and gel filtration. SDS-PAGE showed the product to be the complex, GP IIb-IIIa; light scattering intensity measurements indicated a Ca/sup 2 +/-dependent complex of the appropriate MW. Purified complex was then used to raise antibodies in Balb-c mice by standard hybridoma technology; positive cells were found by ELISA enabling the detection of antibody concentrations as low as 3 ng/ml. The MoABs were purified from both culture supernatant and ascites fluid by ion exchange and protein-A affinity chromatography. Western blotting determined that CS-1 is specific for nonreduced GP IIIa but not reduced GP IIIa or any form of GP IIb. CS-1 inhibited binding of radiolabeled FGN to ADP-stimulated platelets by 40-50% over a concentration range of 5-70 ..mu..g/ml. Flow cytometric analysis confirmed that CS-1 recognized a protein on the surface of both resting and stimulated platelets. The determined specificity of CS-1 and its limited ability to inhibit FGN binding to platelets make this MoAB useful for analysis of the structural and functional relationships between fibrin(ogen) and GP IIb-IIIa.
