ANTIBODIES THAT DISSOLVE ARTERIAL THROMBI

摘要

An IgG antibody which induces platelet fragmentation. The antibody reacts with platelet epitope GPIIIa49-66 on platelet membranes. This antibody, or a monoclonal antibody derived from the GPIIIa49-66 epitope, will dissolve arterial thrombi generally found in the coronary arteries of patients with acute myocardial infarction as well as other arterial occlusions.
