Competition of murine GPIIIa N-termini containing substitution mutations with the HPA-1a–positive human GPIIIa N-terminus. In an ELISA, murine substitution mutations were tested for their ability to compete with the human HPA-1a containing 66 amino acid segment. An antiserum was incubated with various murine GPIIIa N-termini containing substitution mutations before being assayed with the human N-terminal segment. Due to the numerous samples, the results were separated into three groups. Some samples are present in more than one group. In (A), substitution mutations (m3a32,33and m3a22,30,32) were tested for their ability to compete with the human GPIIIa N-terminal segment. The results in graph (B) compare the ability of the murine proteins with substitutions at position 30 to compete with the human segment; those in graph (C) compare the ability of the murine proteins with substitutions at position 39 to compete. The legend for the substitution mutations is given (bottom, right).
