RGDS, μM | 3.5 ± 1.6 | 35.9 ± 7.1 | 2.3 ± 0.2 |
Tirofiban, nM | 0.9 ± 0.2 | 1.6 ± 0.9 | 1.3 ± 0.3 |
IC50 for VWF binding | |||
RGDS, μM | 21.0 ± 1.2 | 68.6 ± 20.8 | 14.4 ± 10.3 |

Values are the mean and 1 SE of 3 experiments.
ND indicates not done.
Transgenic mice are homozygous for a disabled murine αIIb gene and express a human αIIb transgene at a level approaching that of human platelets.27
