Soluble fibrinogen binding to Vβ3 and Vβ3(T562N) transfected cells. Cells were preincubated with 1 mmol/L RGDW, 1 mmol/L manganese, or buffer with 10 μg/mL of anti-V antibody, LM142. After 30 minutes of incubation, cells were washed and then incubated with 150 μg/mL FITC-conjugated fibrinogen and PE-conjugated antimouse IgG for 30 minutes and analyzed by flow cytometry. (A) Dot blots represent FITC-fibrinogen (horizontal) and LM142 (vertical) binding in the absence of RGDW and manganese. (B) Fibrinogen binding to cells expressing high levels of Vβ3 (denoted by the rectangle in the dot blots) was analyzed on the histograms. (a through c) Wild-type Vβ3 transfected cells; (d through f) Vβ3(T562N) transfected cells. (a and d) With RGDW; (b and e) with buffer; (c and f) with manganese.
