Protein expression and tyrosine phosphorylation in control and GP6homplatelets. (A) Western blot showing levels of GPVI, FcRγ, Syk, and tubulin (loading control) in control, GP6het, and GP6hom individuals. (B) Densitometry reading of the level of FcRγ and tubulin (loading control) in a GP6hom individual relative to a control (the GP6hom individual is not related to the donor in panel A). (C) Collagen (30 μg/mL) stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation in a control and GP6hom individual (90-second stimulation). (D) Western blot of representative proteins from GP6het and GP6hom donors. (E) Western blot of GPIIb from control and GP6hom donors. Results are representative of 3 (A-C) or 4 (D-E) unrelated GP6hom individuals. Mwt, molecular weight; WT, wild type.
