Cosmc disruption (EHC Cosmc−/y) results in hemorrhage and loss of T-synthase activity. (A) E15.5 embryos (EHC Cosmc−/y) reveal hemorrhaging, denoted by arrows. (Scale bars, 1 mm.) (B) RT-PCR analysis of Cosmc transcription level in different platelet genotypes. (C and D) T-synthase activity in platelets isolated from EHC Cosmc+/y, EHC Cosmc+/−, and EHC Cosmc−/y. α-Mannosidase II activity shown as a control. Error bars indicate ±1 SEM of two independent experiments. (E) Flow cytometry analysis of EHC Cosmc+/y and EHC Cosmc−/y platelets, stained with anti-CD41 and anti-Tn antigen antibodies. (F) Western blot of platelet lysates from wild-type mice (Cosmc+/y), EHC Cosmc+/− mice, and EHC Cosmc−/y mice, using biotin labeled anti-Tn antigen antibody. GAPDH was used as a loading control.
