Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is defined by thrombosis, fetal loss, and the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies, including anti-beta 2-glycoprotein-1 autoantibodies (anti-beta 2GP1) that have a direct role in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in vivo. The cellular targets of the anti-beta 2GP1autoantibody/beta 2GP1complex in vivo were studied using a laser-induced thrombosis model of APS in a live mouse and human anti-beta 2GP1 autoantibodies affinity-purified from APS patients. Cell binding of fluorescently labeled beta 2GP1 and anti-beta 2GP1 autoantibodies revealed their colocalization on the platelet thrombus but not the endothelium. Anti-beta 2GP1 autoantibodies enhanced platelet activation, monitored by calcium mobilization, and endothelial activation, …
