GPCR and collagen agonists fail to trigger LAD-III–derived platelet aggregation caused by their inability to trigger high affinity αIIbβ3 integrin. (A) Platelet aggregation induced by GPCR agonists, collagen, and the vWF agonist ristocetin. Figures depict treatments at time 0 of either healthy control (black line) or LAD patient K (gray line) platelets with epinephrine (first panel), arachidonic acid (second panel), collagen (third panel), or ristocetin (fourth panel), as indicated in the Materials and methods. (B) FACS staining of resting (gray line) and agonist-stimulated (black line) platelets derived from a healthy (age-matched) donor and LAD patient K with the αIIbβ3 ligand mimetic mAb PAC-1. Vertical lines depict the mean intensity of background staining with an isotype-matched control mAb. Small graphs depict the total surface αIIbβ3 levels on these stimulated platelets. Similar results were obtained with LAD patient A.
