Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of determining, on a test sample, the occupation of the cellular GPIIb/IIIa receptor by an antagonist of fibrinogen, characterized in that the number of receptors occupied is determined in the said sample with the aid of an antibody MAb1 which is a competitor for the antagonist, and the total number of occupied or unoccupied receptors is determined with the aid of a so-called noncompetitor antibody MAb2 specific for the occupied or unoccupied receptor and the rate of occupation of the GPIIb/IIIa receptors in the sample is deduced therefrom.
