  • Title: Introduction of antibody (PL/IM 430) to a 100 kDa protein into permeabilised platelets inhibits intracellular sequestration of Ca2+.
    Author: Hack N, Authi KS, Crawford N.
    Journal: Biosci Rep; 1988 Aug; 8(4):379-88. PubMed ID: 2847821.
    Abstract:
    A monoclonal antibody (PL/IM 430), previously found to inhibit the uptake of Ca2+ into highly purified platelet intracellular membrane vesicles (Hack, N., Wilkinson, J.M. and Crawford, N. 1988, Biochem. J. 250, 355-361) has been introduced into saponin-permeabilised platelets. At a saponin concentration (20-25 micrograms/ml) commensurate with total LDH release, sequestration of Ca2+ into intracellular non-mitochondrial stores is inhibited by the antibody (approximately 50% inhibition at 20 micrograms/ml IgG). At higher saponin concentrations when intracellular binding of 125I-labelled mAb is maximum, inhibition of Ca2+ sequestration approaches 70%. The inhibition is specific, control studies with non-platelet directed mouse IgG and mAbs which immunoblot platelet antigens other than the 100 kDa protein did not affect the Ca2+ sequestration. No effect of the antibody were observed against IP3-induced release of prestored Ca2+, either in permeabilised platelets or with isolated intracellular membrane vesicles. The mAb PL/IM 430 appears to bind only to the Ca2+ translocating channel protein associated with the intracellular membrane (Ca2+ + Mg2+) ATPase and not to Ca2+ channels responsive to IP3.
