Fig. 1.
Binding of antibodies to CHO cells expressing αIIbβ3 or αvβ3.
CHO cells, expressing either αIIbβ3 (left column) or αvβ3 (right column), were incubated with platelet-associated autoantibody from ITP patients (ITP-4, -5, -6) or allo-antibody from a patient with posttransfusion purpura (PTP-1), and bound antibody was detected by FACS analysis using FITC-antihuman IgG. In each panel, binding to CHO cells, expressing the glycoprotein complex (shaded profile), is compared to binding to native CHO cells (open profile).
