Cd 41A Immunohistochemistry Biopsy Tissue
What is this test?
The CD41 molecule is the integrin alphaIIb also known as platelet GPIIb. CD41 non-covalently associates with betaIII integrin (GPIIIa, CD61) and is expressed by megakaryocytes and platelets. The CD41/CD61 complex is a receptor for fibronectin, fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, vitronectin and thrombospondin and mediates platelets aggregation. This antibody blocks platelet aggregation. CD41 completely inhibits ADP-, epinephrine-, and collagen-induced platelet activation, and partially inhibits ristocetin- and thrombin-induced platelet activation. This antibody is useful in the morphological and physiological studies of platelets and megakaryocytes. The GPIIb/IIIa may be absent or strongly reduced in Glanzmann
Also known as IHC Marker CD 41A Immunohistochemistry Biopsy Tissue, CD 41a Count Immunohistochemistry Biopsy Tissue.
