ACTIVATION-DEPENDENT PROTEIN EXPRESSED ON THE SURFACE OF ACTIVATED PLATELETS AND ANTIBODIES THERETO.

摘要

The present invention provides a thrombin-activated platelet protein (TAPP). The protein is selectively expressed on the surface of thrombin-activated platelets. Antibodies which selectively bind to the thrombin-activated platelet protein are also provided. These compositions find use in the detection and treatment of blood clots.
