Flow cytometric analysis of Platelet GPVI expression on human peripheral blood platelets. Platelets were isolated from fresh whole blood and fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655). After washing, the fixed platelets were stained with PE Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 554680; dashed line histogram) or PE Mouse Anti-Human Platelet GPVI antibody (Cat. No. 565241; solid line histogram). The fluorescence histogram showing GPVI expression (or Ig Isotype control staining) was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact platelets. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer System.

Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

The HY101 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to a collagen receptor, Platelet Glycoprotein VI (GPVI or GP6). GPVI is a 58-kD platelet membrane glycoprotein that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. Upon blood vessel wall injury and consequent endothelial cell damage, platelets collect upon the exposed collagen fibers present in the subendothelial matrix. The platelet and collagen interaction leads to activated platelet aggregation and thrombus formation. Although normally serving a protective function in clot formation that limits blood loss, the platelet GPVI/collagen interaction may also play a role in myocardial infarction and stroke which are associated with the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques.
