Abstract excerpt
The glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked platelet protein CD109 carries the biallelic alloantigen system Gov. There is limited information on the incidence of Gov alloantibodies in neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAITP), post-transfusion purpura (PTP) and platelet refractoriness. We adapted the monoclonal antibody-specific immobilization of platelet antigens (MAIPA) assay to the detection of Gov antibodies...
