Abstract excerpt
Platelet activation by collagen relies on the interaction of the receptor glycoprotein VI (GPVI) with collagen helices. We have previously generated two recombinant single chain human antibodies (scFvs) to human GPVI. The first, 10B12, binds to the collagen-binding site on the apical surface between the two immunoglobulin-like domains (D1D2) of the receptor and so directly inhibits GPVI function. The second, 1C3,...
