Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The platelet storage lesion accelerates platelet clearance after transfusion, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive. Although inhibiting sheddase activity hampers clearance of platelets with storage lesion, the target platelet protein responsible for ectodomain shedding-induced clearance is not definitively identified. Monoclonal antibody 5G6 was developed recently to bind specifically...
