Key result
Platelets deficient in GPIIIb aggregated normally to type I and III collagens but showed no aggregation and impaired secretion in response to type V collagen compared to control platelets.
Population
Platelets from 3 healthy blood donors deficient in glycoprotein IIIb (GPIIIb)
Comparison
Exposure to collagens type I, III, and V vs Control platelets
Design
Preclinical

May inform selective antiplatelet targeting without broad hemostatic risk; leaves open human translation from animal data.
Observational (n=3)
GPIIIb is essential for platelet aggregation induced by type V collagen, but not for types I and III, explaining the lack of hemostatic problems in GPIIIb-deficient individuals.
Kehrel et al. (1993) conducted an observational in Healthy blood donors deficient in GPIIIb (n=3). GPIIIb deficiency vs. Control platelets was evaluated on Platelet aggregation and secretion in response to collagens type I, III, and V. Platelets deficient in GPIIIb aggregated normally to type I and III collagens but showed no aggregation and impaired secretion in response to type V collagen compared to control platelets.
