Platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa complex (alpha IIb beta 3-integrin) changes its conformation upon platelet activation that results in binding of RGD-containing ligands and expression of ligand-induced binding site (LIBS) neoepitopes. Anti-GIIb-IIIa monoclonal antibody (monAB) CRC54 bound to < or = 10% of GPIIb-IIIa on resting platelets but binding was enhanced by the occupation of GPIIb-IIIa with RGDS peptide and by platelet activation indicating that CRC54 is directed against LIBS epitope. The epitope was located within the first 100 N-terminal residues of GPIIIa and differed from other LIBS epitopes. CRC54 as well as its Fab fragments were able to induce platelet aggregation. CRC54 also stimulated interaction of GPIIb-IIIa with its ligands (fibrinogen and fibronectin) and conformation-dependent antibodies. The results indicated that changes of GPIIb-IIIa conformation, binding of ligands and platelet aggregation could be stimulated via interaction of anti-LIBS antibody with the N-terminal part of GPIIIa.
