Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There is an increasing interest in the development of rapid and reliable techniques for platelet alloantigen typing. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: By use of standardized flow cytometry and a specific human alloantiserum, 236 Swedish blood donors were immunophenotyped for the platelet-specific alloantigen, PlA1 (HPA-1a). RESULTS: Ten individuals (4.2%) had low fluorescence intensities and were considered...
