Abstract excerpt
The strong association between anti-HPA-1a alloimmunization and DR3, DRw52a phenotype in HPA-1b homozygous women suggests that these class II molecules play a crucial role in the immune response against HPA-1a. The diallelic system HPA-1 results in a single amino acid polymorphism at the residue 33 of the glycoprotein IIIa. So, we tested the binding of peptides from the 25-42 region of the GPIIIa to purified...
