<p>Receptor-induced binding sites (RIBS) expressed in a ligand when that ligand is bound in a complex with a receptor are disclosed, as are polypeptides that correspond in amino acid residue sequence with a RIBS expressed by a receptor-ligand complex. Particularly-preferred polypeptides correspond to a RIBS amino acid sequence of the gamma chain of human fibrinogen. Monoclonal antibodies that immunoreact with a RIBS but do not substantially immunoreact with either the ligand or the receptor when free in solution are also disclosed, as are hybridomas secreting those antibodies, and methods of making and using such antibodies.</p> |
