Freeze-fracture cytochemistry of wheat germ agglutinin and concanavalin A receptors on the plasma membrane of normal, Bernard-Soulier, and thrombasthenic platelets.
The authors report here the results of fracture-labeling of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) and concanavalin A (Con A) receptors on the plasma membranes of normal, Bernard-Soulier, and thrombasthenic platelets. In all cases, virtually all of the label was confined to the exoplasmic half of the membrane. Despite the absence of GP Ib in Bernard-Soulier platelets and the absence or strong reduction of Gp IIb and GP IIIa in thrombasthenic platelets, their plasma membranes were strongly labeled by both Con A and WGA. These results are best accounted for by the presence of other glycoproteins and/or glycolipids at the platelet surface.
