Interaction of platelets with subendothelial collagen is important in primary hemostasis and thrombosis. Although activation of platelets by collagen polymers has been widely investigated, only insufficient data are available concerning the binding of genetically distinct collagen types in their triple helical (monomeric) form to platelets. We report on the binding of 125I-labeled human type I collagen to platelets. The binding assay was performed at 20 degrees C in the presence of arginine in order to prevent polymerization of the collagen monomers. The binding of monomeric 125I-labeled human type I collagen is dose- and time-dependent, saturable and specific, since it is competitively inhibited by unlabeled type I collagen, but not by unlabeled human type V collagen. Scatchard analysis reveals a class of specific high affinity binding sites with a Kd of 2.5 X 10(-8) M. These results suggest that platelets interact with type I collagen through specific binding sites, and that there are various different binding sites on the platelet membrane for the genetically distinct collagen types.
