Glycoprotein IV (GPIIb, CD36) is a major platelet membrane glycoprotein which is thought to participate in a number of adhesive reactions and to mediate signal transduction. In order to measure the total content of GPIV in human platelets, we have developed a simple and sensitive solid-phase radioimmunoassay based on the immunocapture of GPIV from Triton X-100-solubilized platelets. FA6-152, a monoclonal antibody to GPIV was coated on microtiter plates and bound antigen was quantified with a radiolabeled polyclonal antibody to GPIV. Using purified GPIV as a standard, the coefficients of variation of the assay were found to be less than 10% at concentrations of GPIV ranging from 0.15 to 0.75 micrograms/ml. The assay was validated by the parallelism obtained between purified GPIV dose-response curves and those obtained with platelet lysates, indicating a similar antigenic activity for GPIV in both samples. The level of GPIV in platelets from healthy donors was 0.23 +/- 0.05 (mean +/- SD, n = 15) micrograms per 100 micrograms of platelet proteins and a mean value of 27,440 +/- 6,200 (SD) molecules per platelet was calculated. The radioimmunoassay could be used to discriminate between the high level of platelet GPIV in patients with essential thrombocythemia (mean +/- SD = 81,850 +/- 27,780 molecules/platelet; n = 8) and the normal GPIV level in patients with secondary thrombocytosis (mean +/- SD = 26,810 +/- 4,030 molecules/platelet; n = 5), thereby demonstrating the clinical usefulness of the assay. The specific increase in platelet GPIV in patients with essential thrombocythemia was confirmed by immunoblot analysis whereas no increase in platelet GPIb or GPIIb-IIIa was observed by this technique.
