The production and characterization of a new monoclonal antibody, Y2/51, against platelet glycoprotein IIIa is described. A useful feature of this antibody is its ability to recognize platelets and megakaryocytes in formalin-fixed routinely processed material. It could also be used to reveal platelets both in thrombi in large vessels and in microthrombi too small to be readily apparent on conventional microscopic examination. For this purpose it was helpful to use the antibody in conjunction with a new monoclonal reagent (Ret40f) against red cell sialoglycoprotein beta which detects red cells and their precursors in routinely processed tissue. The use of these antibodies should be valuable for the detection of thrombi in a variety of situations such as renal transplant rejection, coronary artery disease and vasculitis.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
