摘要

Each year, more than 1.2 million Americans suffer a heart attack, and approximately 700,000 suffer a stroke. Both conditions currently rank in the top three leading causes of death in the United States. Three decades ago, researchers knew little about the role of platelets and their interactions with other proteins in contributing to these adverse health events. However, since the mid-1970s, physician and investigator Barry S. Coller has made great contributions toward understanding the mechanisms behind platelet aggregation and the receptors and ligands involved. Over the course of his career, Coller and his colleagues have contributed to elucidating the receptors for fibrinogen (αIIbβ3; GPIIb/IIIa) and von Willebrand factor (GPIb), which are crucial to the clotting process. Based on these findings, his team developed monoclonal antibodies that bind to these receptors, inhibiting platelet aggregation and thus slowing or stopping the cascade of events that leads to heart attack and stroke. The drug abciximab, developed from one of these antibodies (7E3), has been used to treat more than 2 million patients since its Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in 1994.

Coller为了解血小板聚集以及相关的受体和配体的机制做出了巨大贡献。在他的职业生涯中,Coller及其同事为阐明对凝血过程至关重要的纤维蛋白原(αIIbβ3; GPIIb / IIIa)和血管性血友病因子(GPIb)受体做出了贡献。基于这些发现,他的团队开发了与这些受体结合的单克隆抗体,从而抑制血小板聚集,从而减缓或终止了导致心脏病发作和中风的一系列事件。自1994年获得美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)批准以来,由其中一种抗体(7E3)开发的药物abciximab已被用于治疗超过200万患者。
