We have identified a new platelet-specific alloantigen, Max(a), responsible for a typical case of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenic purpura. The maternal serum reacted strongly with paternal platelets in the platelet immunofluorescence test, whereas platelet alloantigen typing showed that no known human platelet antigen (HPA)-system was involved. In the monoclonal antibody (MoAb)-specific immobilization of...
