Abstract excerpt
Alloimmunization to human platelet alloantigens (HPAs) is responsible for neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT), post-transfusional purpura (PTP) and platelet transfusion refractoriness. HPAs may also have a role as histocompatibility antigens in transplantation as well as associations with cardiac disease. We have developed a polymerase chain reaction-sequence-specific primer (PCR-SSP) assay capable of...
