abstract：:We have previously described an SLE-derived human hybridoma autoantibody, 9604, which binds to activated but not to resting platelets, inhibits platelet aggregation, and immunoprecipitates a surface-labelled poly-peptide of 32,000 molecular weight (MW) (p32). In the present study, using a murine monoclonal anti-p32 an...
