Abstract

In a P-selectin knockout mouse we generated an anti-rat/mouse P-selectin monoclonal antibody (mAb), designated RMP-1, by immunization with activated rat platelets. This IgG2a mAb immunoprecipitates a 140 kDa protein under reducing conditions from rat platelet lysate, and also reacts in Western blotting under non-reducing conditions. RMP-1 reacts with fixed and unfixed thrombin activated, but not unactivated rat platelets as well as with recombinant rat- and mouse P-selectin protein as assessed by ELISA. Flow cytometry analysis revealed binding of RMP-1 to activated rat platelets. MAb RMP-1 inhibited adhesion of HL-60 cells to immobilized mouse P-selectin by 91% and to activated rat platelets by 80% under static conditions. This novel adhesion blocking antibody should be useful for studying P-selectin function jn vitro and in vivo in rat and mouse inflammation models.
