Abstract excerpt
We recently described a new low-frequency platelet alloantigen on the human platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX complex, termed Iy(a), which was implicated in a severe case of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia. Immunoprecipitation studies with trypsin-treated platelets indicated that the Iy(a) alloantigenic determinants are formed by the membrane-associated remnant moiety of GP Ibalpha (GP Ibalpha(r)) together...
