von Willebrand factor (VWF) serves as a molecular bridge between the constituents of the subendothelium, such as collagen, and receptors of the platelet membrane, primarily GPIb. We have previously reported two monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), SZ-123 and SZ-125, which specifically bind the VWF A3 domain and block the interaction of VWF with collagen type III and ristocetin- or botrocetin-induced platelet aggregation. Here, we identified the epitopes recognized by SZ-123 and SZ-125 using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry in combination with proteolysis protection assays. Our results demonstrated that SZ-123 recognizes a discontinuous epitope, involving the residues989AHLLSLVDVMQR1000and1017YLTSEMHGARPGASK1031of VWF. SZ-125 recognizes a linear epitope, encompassing the sequence1001EGGPSQIGDALGFAVR1016. Immunoassays further indicated that the synthetic peptide, NH2-EGGPSQIGDALGFAVR-COOH, is sufficient for the binding to SZ-125. These results provide insight into the mechanistic basis for the inhibition of VWF binding to collagen by SZ-123/SZ-125.
