Abstract excerpt
In this review, we describe the platelet surface molecules with special focus on the polymorphic glycoproteins giving rise to the human platelet alloantigen (HPA) system. We list the platelet glycoprotein complexes GPIa/IIa, GPIIb/IIIa, GPIb/V/IX and some other molecules, the corresponding genes that encode them and we describe their polymorphisms as well as their physiological function. Based on data obtained by...
