Description | Abciximab (C7E3), a chimeric mouse/human monoclonal antibody, is a glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitor. Abciximab inhibits platelet aggregation and leucocyte adhesion by binding to the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa, vitronectin and Mac-1 receptors[1]. |

In Vitro | Abciximab (C7E3) inhibits platelet aggregation induced by physiologic and pathologic agonists by binding to the platelet αIIbβ3 integrin[2]. Abciximab appears to have similar affinity for the αIIbβ3 and αvβ3 integrins and redistributes between them[2]. |
In Vivo | Abciximab (C7E3) (0.25 mg/kg/day; i.v.; 28 days) effectively prevents neointimal hyperplasia[2]. Animal Model: Male Wistar rats weighing 200-250 g, balloon angioplasty model[2] Dosage: 0.25 mg/kg/day Administration: Intravenous injection, 28 days Result: Time-dependently inhibited both neointimal hyperplasia and lumen occlusion after angioplasty in carotid arteries of rats. Significantly reduced PDGF-BB expression in vessel lumens and neointimal smooth muscle cells after angioplasty. Suppressed the elevation of plasma TxB2 concentration. |
