Single‐chain antibodies for the conformation‐specific blockade of activated platelet integrin αIIbβ3 designed by subtractive selection from naïve human phage libraries

Abstract
Binding of fibrinogen to platelet integrin αIIbβ3 mediates platelet aggregation, and thus inhibition of αIIbβ3 represents a powerful therapeutic strategy in cardiovascular medicine. However, the curr...
