Application Notes
This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG2a format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques. The antibody binds specifically to human GPIIb/IIIa, and integrin complex of membrane glycoproteins expressed on the surface of platelets. The GPIIb/IIIa complex acts as a receptor for fibrinogen and Von Willebran factor, hemostatic glycoproteins that mediate platelet aggregation and blood coagulation. The monoclonal antibody 10E5 inhibits the binding of fibrinogen to its platelet receptor, preventing the platelet aggregation, to be used during coronary artery surgeries such as angioplasty. The antibody is also useful in the study of the disease Glanzmann's thrombasthenia, caused by defects in GPIIb/IIIa, and of immune thrombocytopenic purpura, where autoantibodies are produced against GPIIb/IIIa.

Background: Integrin alpha 2b beta 3
Integrin alpha 2b beta 3, also known as GPIIbIIIa, is the most abundant Integrin expressed by megakaryocytes and platelets, both on the surface and within alpha granules. Deficiencies of alpha 2b beta 3 produce Glanzmann thrombasthenia, a potentially serious bleeding disorder. Active cell surface alpha 2b beta 3 adheres to Fibrinogen, mediating platelet/platelet interactions that initiate a cascade of platelet activation and aggregation, extracellular matrix adhesion, formation of thrombi, and clot retraction. It also binds matrix proteins that have an RGD motif, including Fibronectin, Plasminogen, Prothrombin, Thrombospondin, and Vitronectin.
