Difference in degree of thrombocytopenia and presence of shock phenotype following treatment with 50 μg anti-CD9 antibody in different defined mouse lines

Mouse lineDegree of thrombocytopenia*Shock phenotype
Wild type Moderate No  
IIA tg Severe No  
γ-KO None No  
IIA tg × γ-KO Severe Yes (fatal 16/18)  
IIA tg × γ-KO, lower dose antibody Moderate No  
IIA tg low expressors (± γ-KO) Moderate No  
IIA tg after 2.4G2 spleen FcγR blockade Severe Yes  
IIA tg after splenectomy ND Yes 
Mouse lineDegree of thrombocytopenia*Shock phenotype
Wild type Moderate No  
IIA tg Severe No  
γ-KO None No  
IIA tg × γ-KO Severe Yes (fatal 16/18)  
IIA tg × γ-KO, lower dose antibody Moderate No  
IIA tg low expressors (± γ-KO) Moderate No  
IIA tg after 2.4G2 spleen FcγR blockade Severe Yes  
IIA tg after splenectomy ND Yes 

tg indicates transgenic; KO, knockout.

*

Moderate thrombocytopenia is defined as a platelet count between 0.3 and 0.6 × 106/μl, whereas severe thrombocytopenia is defined as less than 0.3 × 106/μl.

ND, not determined, as mice died of shock before platelet count could be obtained.
