Monoclonal Antibody 9-8B Inhibits Enzymatic Activity of CD39. A. Flow-cytometric analysis shows inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation by 9-8B (4 μM) and POM-1 (10 μM). Naïve; untreated platelets, -; rhCD39 (2 μM)+ ATP (1 mM) treated platelets. B. Orthogonal radioactive CD39 assay demonstrates inhibition of ATPase activity on IGN-SRC-004 cells by 9-8B (6 nM) and POM-1 (10 μM). Ectonucleotidase activity is expressed as picomolar of hydrolyzed free 33Pi per minute per 1000 cells. ***P < 0.001.
