Abstract
Human platelet glycoprotein Ib (GP Ib) is a major integral membrane protein that has been identified as the platelet-binding site mediating the factor VIII/von Willebrand-factor-dependent adhesion of platelets to vascular subendothelium. Recent evidence suggests that GP Ib is normally complexed with another platelet membrane protein, GP IX. In this study, human platelet plasma membranes were selectively solubilized with a buffer containing 0.1% (v/v) Triton X-100. The GP Ib complex (GP Ib plus GP IX) was purified to homogeneity in approximately 30% yield by immunoaffinity chromatography of the membrane extract using the anti-(glycoprotein Ib complex) murine monoclonal antibody, WM 23, coupled to agarose. GP Ib and GP IX were subsequently isolated as purified components by immunoaffinity chromatography of the GP Ib complex using a second anti-(glycoprotein Ib complex) monoclonal antibody, FMC 25, coupled to agarose. As assessed by dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, purified GP Ib was identical to the molecule on intact platelets and had an apparent relative molecular mass of 170 000 under nonreducing conditions and 135 000 (alpha subunit) and 25 000 (beta subunit) under reducing conditions. GP IX had an apparent Mr of 22 000 under both nonreducing and reducing conditions. Purified Gb Ib complex and GP Ib inhibited the ristocetin-mediated, human factor VIII/von Willebrand-factor-dependent and bovine factor VIII/von Willebrand-factor-dependent agglutination of washed human platelets suggesting the proteins had been isolated in functionally active form. GP Ib alpha had a similar amino acid composition to that previously reported for its proteolytic degradation product, glycocalicin. The amino acid compositions of GP Ib beta and GP IX were similar but showed marked differences in the levels of glutamic acid, alanine, histidine and arginine. The N-termini of GP Ib alpha and GP IX were blocked; GP Ib beta had the N-terminal sequence, Ile-Pro-Ala-Pro-. On crossed immunoelectrophoresis, both GP Ib and GP IX were found to occur in the same immunoprecipitin arc(s) whether the platelets had been solubilized in the absence or presence of the calcium-dependent protease inhibitor, leupeptin. Binding studies in platelet-rich plasma indicated a similar number of binding sites (means +/- SD) for three anti-(glycoprotein Ib complex) monoclonal antibodies: AN 51, epitope on GP Ib alpha (22 000 +/- 2700, n = 3), WM 23, epitope on GP Ib alpha (21 000 +/- 3400, n = 3), FMC 25, epitope on GP IX (20 100 +/- 2700, n = 3), and FMC 25 (Fab')2 (27 100 +/- 800, n = 2).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
During extraction of platelets by 1% Triton X-100, the actin-binding protein (platelet filamin) and a 230 kDa protein are degraded by a calcium-activated thiol protease. Occurrence of degradation products of Mr 190 000 (HF-1) and 90 000 (HF-2) is a sensitive indicator of this proteolysis, and can be used to decide whether reduced amounts of the actin-binding protein in extracts are due to proteolysis or to incorporation in the Triton-insoluble (cytoskeletal) fraction. Diamide, which is a sulfhydryl-oxidizing protein cross-linker, inhibits the calcium-activated protease, polymerizes the actin-binding protein and the 230 kDa protein, increases the incorporation of glycoprotein Ib into the cytoskeletal fraction, and inhibits platelet agglutination induced by bovine von Willebrand factor. Inhibition of platelet agglutination by pretreatment with diamide is partly reversed by dibucaine which activates the calcium-activated protease. These observations are in accordance with a working hypothesis that interactions of glycoprotein Ib with cytoskeleton affect, and possibly regulate, its receptor function in the intact platelet.

Abstract
Univalent antibody fragments prepared from a rabbit antiserum raised against whole human platelets completely inhibited adhesion of platelets to immobilized trimeric collagen in a defined, Mg2+-dependent, adhesion assay. An octylglucoside extract of whole platelets completely neutralized this antibody, and all neutralizing activity bound to immobilized wheat germ agglutinin. Further fractionation on concanavalin A gave rise to subfractions that each neutralized only partially at saturation, when tested against antibody concentrations that inhibit 50% of platelet-collagen adhesion. When tested against higher antibody concentrations that completely inhibited adhesion, each subfraction had no detectable neutralizing effect, although the combined subfractions neutralized completely. This and other evidence suggests that more than one platelet entity participates in platelet-collagen adhesion. Although distinct, they appear to play interdependent roles in a single adhesion process.

Abstract
Platelet glycerol lysis membranes and alpha-granule membranes were compared with respect to protein and lipid composition. Crossed immunoelectrophoresis using antibodies against whole platelets, and sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, revealed the presence of the glycoproteins IIb and IIIa, myosin and an antigen termed G4 in both membrane fractions. The glycoproteins Ia, Ib and IIIb, in addition to beta 2-microglobulin and actin, appeared specific for the glycerol lysis membranes, whereas two antigens, termed G8 and G18, were observed only in the alpha-granule membranes. The localization of glycoprotein IIa was inconclusive. Comparison with the surface-located proteins revealed that the glycerol lysis membranes represented a reasonable approximation to a plasma membrane preparation. Radioactively labelled immunoprecipitates obtained after crossed immunoelectrophoresis of 125I-labelled platelets were cut out and applied to sodium dodecyl sulphate electrophoresis on polyacrylamide slab gels. Autoradiography of the dried gels revealed that antigen G4 represented a protein with an average molecular weight of 146 000 in its unreduced state and 132 000 in its reduced state. Antigen G18 represented a protein of molecular weight 130 000-135 000 in the reduced as well as unreduced state. Quantitation of protein and lipids showed that the alpha-granule membranes contained about one-third as much cholesterol and 2-times as much protein in relation to phospholipids as compared to the glycerol lysis membranes. No significant difference between the two membrane preparations was found as regards the composition of their phospholipids.

Abstract
Platelet proteins that interact with heparin were studied using crossed affinity immunoelectrophoresis. Platelet proteins solubilized in Triton X-100 were applied to crossed immunoelectrophoresis against anti-platelet antibodies, and an intermediate gel containing heparin covalently linked to Sepharose 4B was inserted. Six immunoprecipitates were absent or showed an altered position compared to control immunoplates, indicating that the corresponding antigens were bound to the immobilized heparin. These precipitates represented platelet factor 4, thrombospondin, glycoprotein Ib, and three antigens termed G4, 17 and 25. The subcellular location of the heparin-binding proteins was either in the surface membrane (glycoprotein Ib and the antigens 17 and 25), or in the alpha-granules (platelet factor 4, thrombospondin and G4). both forms of platelet factor 4 appearing after crossed immunoelectrophoresis, i.e. a line-form and a peak-form, bound strongly to the heparin. Glycoprotein Ib showed a weak binding whereas its proteolytic split product glycocalicin did not significantly bind to the heparin in the present system. It is concluded that the platelets contain at least six heparin-binding proteins which are present on the cellular surface or are able to be exposed to the extracellular medium after the release-reaction has occurred.

Abstract
The water-soluble protein glycocalicin is generated during platelet lysis by a proteolytic attack on the integral membrane glycoprotein GP Ib. However, only small amounts of glycocalicin are formed when platelets are solubilized by 1% Triton X-100. Crossed immunoelectrophoresis of such extracts using an antiserum to glycocalicin, shows a continuous immunoprecipitate consisting of two peaks, one representing glycocalicin and the other GP Ib. When leupeptin was present during solubilization, subsequent immunoelectrophoresis revealed yet another GP Ib-related component represented by a third, slow-migrating peak of the immunoprecipitate. During incubation of platelets with dibucaine followed by solubilization in the presence of leupeptin, a gradual transformation of this new form of GP Ib into the previously defined one took place prior to the formation of glycocalicin. An increase followed by a decrease in the agglutination response of the platelets to bovine von Willebrand factor occurred concomitant with these transformations. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of Triton X-100 extracts of platelets did not reveal any difference in the size of GP Ib whether or not leupeptin had been present during the solubilization.

Abstract
Proteins released from stimulated platelets were compared to those of a well-defined preparation of alpha-granules and the soluble cytoplasm by crossed immunoelectrophoresis. Nearly all releasable proteins were detected in the alpha-granule, whereas the true proteins of the soluble cytoplasm were not released. The released glycoproteins interacted with lectins similarly to their alpha-granula-located counterparts. The alpha-granules were divided into soluble contents and membranes by ultrasonication followed by ultracentrifugation. The proteins of the soluble content corresponded to those released from the stimulated platelets. This observation was also supported by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The results indicate that the bulk of the proteins released from stimulated platelets originate from the soluble content of the alpha-granules. Two major alpha-granule antigens as well as the myosin heavy chain were not released and recovered in the alpha-granule membrane. These results support the hypothetical exocytosis mechanism for the release of alpha-granule proteins from platelets.

Abstract
The protein composition of a well-defined alpha-granule preparation isolated from human platelets has been studied. Crossed immunoelectrophoresis against polyspecific platelet antibodies revealed more than 20 immunoprecipitates. The glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex represented a major antigen in the Triton X-100-solubilized alpha-granule preparation and cross-reacted with the corresponding platelet membrane antigen. Furthermore, after lactoperoxidase-catalyzed 125I-iodination of whole platelets it was not labelled, in contrast to its membrane-located counterpart. This indicates an intracellular location of glycoproteins IIb and IIIa, probably as constituents of the alpha-granules. Fibrinogen, platelet factor 4, albumin, factor VIII-related antigen and the main granule glycoprotein (thrombinsensitive protein, thrombospondin) were identified in the alpha-granule preparation by the crossed immunoelectrophoresis technique. Crossed affinity immunoelectrophoresis using lectins revealed the presence of at least seven glycoproteins, and six sialoglycoproteins were identified by their altered electrophoretic mobility after neuraminidase treatment. Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of reduced samples of the alpha-granules revealed at least 15 Coomassie Brilliant Blue-staining polypeptide bands, one of which comigrated with myosin heavy chain. No prominent band was observed in the actin region. Five glycopolypeptide bands were observed after periodic acid-Schiff staining. The dominant three represented the main granule glycoprotein, glycoprotein IIb and glycoprotein IIIa, respectively. More glycoproteins seem to be present in the alpha-granules than was previously recognized.

Abstract
Platelet membrane glycoproteins have been isolated by lectin-affinity chromatography and antibodies prepared against them. Platelets that have lost glycocalicin no longer respond to ristocetin-human VIIIR:WF, bovine VIIIR:WF, or to glycocalicin or glycoproteins Ia and Ib antibodies but are still agglutinated by glycoproteins IIb and IIIa antibodies. Glycoproteins Ia and Ib and glycocalicin antibodies, IgG and Fab' fragments, inhibited ristocetin-human VIIIR:WF-induced aggregation of fixed, washed platelets and of platelets in plasma while glycoproteins IIb and IIIa antibodies were without effect. Cross immunoelectrophoretic studies showed that glycocalicin was present on whole platelets in only trace amounts. Glycocalicin antibodies, however, recognized a slower migrating component. Platelets incubated in an EDTA-free medium no longer respond to ristocetin-human VIIIR:WF. Membranes isolated from such platelets contained glycocalicin which cross-reacted with a remnant of the slower migrating component. Glycoproteins Ia and Ib antibodies gave more complex patterns but it was possible to identify the slower moving component recognized by the glycocalicin antibodies. These results show that glycocalicin is not normally found as such on whole platelets but is present as a precursor which is most likely glycoprotein Ib. On degradation of this precursor, glycocalicin is released from the membrane and VIIIR:WF-receptor activity is lost.

Abstract
Intact human blood platelets were radioactively labelled at the surface by techniques specific for proteins or glycoproteins. Labelled platelet samples were analyzed by a high-resolution two-demensional separation system involving isoelectric focusing in the first dimension and discontinuous sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the second. The major platelet membrane glycoprotein (GP) bands (Ib, IIb, IIIa and IIIb) were found to be highly heterogeneous even after removal of terminal sialic acid residues. Lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination of platelets showed that the major labelled proteins (Ib, IIb, IIIa and IIIb) had altered isoelectric points (pI) and molecular weights after neuraminidase treatment. A number of membrane glycoproteins previously undetected by one-dimensional gel electrophoresis were demonstrated and good evidence provided that the major platelet surface proteins are glycosylated.

Abstract
Glycocalicin has been extracted from human platelets by 3 M KCl and purified using affinity chromatography on columns of Sepharose-coupled wheat germ agglutinin as the most efficient step. Rabbit antiserum to the purified protein agglutinated human platelets and inhibited the agglutination induced by bovine Factor VIII-related protein. Crossed immunoelectrophoresis of Triton X-100 extracts of platelets in Triton X-100-containing agarose revealed the presence of two glycocalicin-related components of different electrophoretic mobilities giving a continuous double-peak immunoprecipitate with this antiserum. The fast-moving component, which represented the minor peak of the immunoprecipitate, corresponded to purified soluble glycocalicin. Crossed hydrophobic interaction immunoelectrophoresis did not demonstrate binding of the purified glycocalicin or the fast-moving component to phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B as hydrophobic matrix. The slow-moving component, which represented the major peak of the immunoprecipitate, showed a strong binding to the hydrophobic matrix. Immunoelectrophoretic quantitation of glycocalicin present in the aqueous media demonstrated that the presence of EDTA, N-ethylmaleimide and iodoacetamide during lysis of platelets significantly reduced the solubilization of glycocalicin. At the same concentrations these inhibitors strongly inhibited the calcium-activated protease of platelet sonicates. Sialic acid determination after acid hydrolysis of aliquots from the soluble fractions showed that their content of sialic acid was considerably higher when lysis was performed in the absence, rather than in the presence, of EDTA and that glycocalicin contributes significantly to the total platelet sialic acid.

Abstract
Crossed immunoelectrophoresis of Triton X-100 solubilized proteins from normal and abnormal platelets was performed with rabbit antibodies raised against normal platelets. In Bernard-Soulier platelets protein 13 was not detected, and neither the amphiphilic (probably GP Ib) nor the hydrophilic (glycocalicin) glycocalicin-related proteins were seen when monospecific antiglycocalicin antiserum was used. The most prominent precipitate, 16, and platelet fibrinogen, 24 were not detected in platelets of two patients with type I thrombasthenia, whereas in one patient with type II thrombasthenia fibrinogen was clearly detected, but the amount of protein 16 remained severely reduced. Protein 16 was heavily labeled after lactoperoxidase-catalyzed (125)I iodination of normal platelets, and was precipitated by IgG-L, an alloantibody from a polytransfused thrombasthenic patient. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) or protein 16 cut out from immunoplates showed two (125)I-labeled glycoprotein bands, which migrate as GP IIb and GP IIIa. SDS-PAGE of (125)I-labeled type I thrombasthenic platelets showed no periodic acid-Schiff bands or peaks of radioactivity in the GP IIb and GP IIIa regions, whereas in the GP I region both the periodic acid-Schiff band intensity and the radiolabeling were within the normal range. Autoradiography after crossed immunoelectrophoresis of iodinated thrombasthenic platelets showed that the bulk of radioactivity was bound to protein 17. This glycoprotein, which was also present in normal and Bernard-Soulier platelets, migrates in the GP I region on SDS-PAGE. Thus, the bulk of radioactivity observed in the GP I region after SDS-PAGE is associated with protein 17 and not with glycocalicin.

Abstract
Human platelet glycoproteins were isolated from whole platelets by two methods. The first method, that of affinity chromatography on wheat germ agglutinin, is based on the known affinity of lectins for cell surface glycoproteins. When solubilized whole platelets are used as starting material for this procedure, elution with N-acetylglucosamine yields primarily a glycoprotein of Mr approximately 150 000 as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gel electrophoresis. The second method is based on the ability of the chaotropic salt lithium diiodosalicylate to extract glycoprotein from particulate cell fractions in water-soluble form. This method yields three major glycopeptides with apparent molecular weights after sulfhydryl reduction of 145 000, 125 000, and 95 000 as estimated on 5.6% sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gels. Carboxymethylation of these preparations in the presence of sulfhydryl-reducing agent further resolves a glycoprotein of Mr approximately 165 000. Treatment of whole platelets by periodate oxidation and sodium[3H]-borohydride reduction labels the three major glycoproteins extracted by lithium diiodosalicylate and the glycoprotein of Mr approximately 150 000 isolated on wheat germ agglutinin confirming their surface orientation. However, glycoprotein with Mr approximately 165 000 resolved by carboxymethylation of the lithium diiodosalicylate extracted glycoprotein mixture was not labelled by this method, suggesting that it represents the granule protein with similar electrophoretic characteristics described by others. Phosphorylation of intact platelets with 32Pi also results in labelling of glycoproteins isolated by both methods, suggesting that these molecules traverse the bilipid layer of the platelet membrane, bearing reactive groups on both outer and cytoplasmic surfaces.

Abstract
Whole human platelets and platelet membranes have been solubilized in 1% Triton X-100, and the solubilized proteins examined by crossed immunoelectrophoresis using rabbit antibodies raised against either whole platelets or isolated membranes. 90% of the platelet proteins were solubilized by this extraction. About twenty immunoprecipitates were observed using the extracts obtained from whole platelets, whereas normally eight immunoprecipitates were seen with extracts from isolated membranes. Albumin, factor VIII and fibrinogen were identified with monospecific antibodies. Correlation of the patterns obtained for platelets or membranes was obtained by addition experiments, by crossed-line immunoelectrophoresis and by crossed immunoelectrophoresis of a mixture of extracts from unlabeled whole platelets and membranes isolated from platelets labeled by lactoperoxidase-catalyzed 125I iodination. Four sialoglycoproteins were identified by their reduced electrophoretic migration after neuraminidase treatment, and six proteins interacted with various lectins, indicating them to be glycosylated. Seven amphiphilic proteins were identified by charge-shift crossed immunoelectrophoresis, and nine by crossed hydrophobic interaction immunoelectrophoresis with phenyl-Sepharose. The topographical arrangement of the membrane proteins was examined with lactoperoxidase-catalyzed 125I-labeled platelets as antigens, and by antibodies absorbed with a suspension of whole platelets. Four and six radioactively labeled precipitates could be identified using the platelet and membrane extracts, respectively, indicating them to be exposed at the outer platelet surface. This was confirmed by the use of antibodies absorbed with intact platelets.

Abstract
High resolution polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic techniques have been applied to the preparative isolation and analysis of plasma membrane proteins and glycoproteins from human platelets and red blood cells. The techniques presented allow relatively simple, direct, rapid and quantitative purification of a broad molecular weight range of membrane proteins, by means of continuous elution preparative gel electrophoresis of protein solubilized with sodium dodecyl sulfate. Spectrophotometric and fluorophotometric (fluorescamine) profiling, and high resolution gel electrophoretic analysis (SDS-acrylamide gradient slab gels, and gel electrofocusing) of eluted protein species indicate that purified membrane proteins of a broad molecular weight range may be obtained in a one step procedure, and in quantities and concentrations sufficient for further analytical or experimental procedures.

Abstract
A 15-year-old girl with severe factor VII deficiency and chronic arthropathy showed an excessively prolonged bleeding time. Further studies demonstrated low platelet adhesiveness and abnormal platelet aggregation with ADP, collagen and epinephrine. Release of 14C-serotonin was deficient after aggregation with ADP and epinephrine, but was normal with thrombin. Transfusion of plasma or prothrombin complex concentrate resulted in a partial or complete correction of the bleeding time, respectively, but had no effect on in vitro platelet function tests. Both parents and the only sister had factor VII activities of 42%-72% and factor VII antigen levels of 45%-66% of normal and may thus be heterozygotes with respect to factor VII deficiency. All three had normal bleeding times in spite of abnormal in vitro platelet functions. The observations are interpreted to mean that in this family with factor VII deficiency and abnormal platelet release reaction the platelet abnormality as such was not sufficiently severe to prolong the bleeding time unless the factor VII activity was also very low.

Abstract
The platelet membrane receptor for quinidine- and quinine-dependent antibodies was studied in three patients with the Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS) and in normal subjects with immunologic techniques based on the release of 51Cr from labeled platelets. The receptor could not be detected on BSS platelets but was present on platelets from each of 180 normal subjects. BSS platelets reacted normally with other allo- and autoantibodies. In confirmation of previous reports, BSS platelets were found to be deficient in glycoproteins Ib and Is. However, after apparently total cleavage of these proteins from the membrane of normal platelets by controlled hydrolysis with trypsin or chymotrypsin, 80% of the drug-dependent antibody receptor activity was retained. These observations suggest the existence of an additional, hitherto unrecognized membrane defect in Bernard-Soulier platelets.
