Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to investigate the distribution and incidence of platelet alloantigens in Spain and to compare this frequency with that found in other populations. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Five hundred blood donors were phenotyped for the HPA-1a (Zwa), HPA-3a (Bak(a)), HPA-4a (Yukb/Pen(a)) y HPA-4b (Yuk(a)). One hundred of these donors were also phenotyped for the HPA-5a (Br(a)) antigen....
