Monoclonal anti CD36 antibodies capable of inhibiting platelet adhesion to collagen have not previously been identified. We have now prepared two groups of monoclonal antibodies. One group was prepared using, as immunogen, highly purified (99+%) CD36 prepared by a denaturing procedure. These antibodies (Mo series) reacted strongly with CD36 on protein blots but did not immunoprecipitate native CD36 from platelet lysates nor inhibit platelet adhesion to collagen. The second group of monoclonal antibodies (131 series) was prepared using CD36 purified to >95% by a non-denaturing procedure. These antibodies reacted with control platelets, but not Nak(a)-negative platelets which lack CD36, as measured by flow cytometry and immunoprecipitation. Three monoclonal antibodies of this latter group (131.4, 131.5 and 131.7) inhibited platelet adhesion to collagen in static systems under Mg2+ -independent conditions but had lit tle effect in the presence of Mg2+. 131.4 and 131.7 also inhibited adhesion to collagen using citrated whole blood in a parallel plate flow chamber at physiological shear rates (800s-1), whereas 131.5 was without effect. These are the first anti-CD36 monoclonal antibodies shown to be capable of inhibiting platelet adhesion to collagen and provide further evidence that CD36 plays a role in platelet-collagen interaction.
