Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Antibodies against human platelet antigens (HPA) are clinically important in fetal-maternal alloimmune thrombocytopenia, refractoriness to platelet transfusions and post-transfusion purpura. Of the 16 HPAs, nine are located on the beta3 subunit of the alphaIIb beta3 integrin. Antibody detection is generally based on platelet-derived alphaIIb beta3 from HPA-genotyped donors. Recombinant allelic beta3...
