Abstract excerpt
Integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3), a platelet fibrinogen receptor, is critically involved in thrombosis and hemostasis. However, how ligands interact with alpha(IIb)beta(3) has been controversial. Ligand-mimetic anti-alpha(IIb)beta(3) antibodies (PAC-1, LJ-CP3, and OP-G2) contain the RGD-like RYD sequence in their CDR3 in the heavy chain and have structural and functional similarities to native ligands. We have located...
