CD61, Platelet Glycoprotein IIIa (Concentrate)

Platelet glycoprotein IIIa (GpIIIa) is identical to the β3-integrin subunit, which can associate with the αV-chain (CD51) to form vitronectin receptor, or with the αIIb-chain (CD41) to form the GpIIb/GpIIIa complex (CD41/CD61). The antibody detects platelets in smears of blood and bone marrow, as well as megakaryocytes in frozen sections and cell smears. The antibody is a useful aid for classification of megakaryoblastic leukemia.
