Surface exposure of αIIbβ3 and αvβ3 complexes in CHO cells transfected with αIIb and either normal or mutated forms of β3 (A) CHO cells were transiently cotransfected with cDNAs encoding normal αIIb and either normal or mutant forms of β3, and the level of surface expression of αIIbβ3 complexes was determined by flow cytometry using a mAb directed against αIIb (▦) or β3 (□). (B) Cells were transfected with either normal or mutant forms of β3, and expression of surface complexes with endogenous αv was evaluated using a mAb directed against αvβ3. The results are expressed as means ± SEMs of at least 4 independent experiments performed in duplicate.
