The adhesion of cells to supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) has been widely used as model systems to study the receptor-ligand interactions that cause the membrane interface. The ligand-functionalized SLBs are...

SummaryNative DNA (dsDNA) induces the aggregation of isolated human platelets. Using isotopically labeled dsDNA (125I-dsDNA) and Scatchard analysis, a single class of platelet receptor was detected with a KD = 190 pM and numbering ~275/platelet. This receptor was discriminatory in that heat denatured dsDNA, poly A, poly C, poly C · I and poly C · poly I failed to substantially inhibit either the platelet binding of, or platelet aggregation induced by, dsDNA; by themselves, these polynucleotides were ineffective as platelet agonists. However, poly G, poly I and poly G · I effectively and competitively inhibited platelet binding of the radioligand, independently activated the platelet and when used at a sub-activating concentration decreased the extent of dsDNA stimulated platelet aggregation. These data depict a receptor on human platelets for dsDNA and perhaps certain additional polynucleotides and relate receptor-ligand interactions to a physiologic platelet function.
