Figure S1, 2A-2HC multimer size correlates with binding stability to FcγRIIb and FcγRIII. This figure shows Octet biosensor assay data demonstrating that stradobody multimerization results in more stable associations with FcγRIIb and FcγRIIIa.

Figure S2, 2A-2HC can cause an initial decrease in platelet count before platelet depletion with MWReg30 that may be the result of platelet sequestration by 2A-2HC. This figure demonstrates that 2A-2HC, in some experiments, caused an initial decrease in platelet count before administration of the platelet-depleting antibody MWReg30.

Figure S3, 2A-2HC does not prevent graft-versus-host disease. This figure demonstrates that 2A-2HC cannot prevent T-cell-mediated graft-versus-host disease in a murine model.

Figure S4, The FcγRIIb-/- and "wild type" C57/BL6 have differing baseline platelet and red blood cell counts. This figure demonstrates that FcγRIIb-/- and "wild type" C57/BL6 have differing baseline platelet counts, which could potentially affect the dynamic range of ITP assay in FcγRIIb-/- mice.
