Fc galactosylation of anti-platelet human IgG1 alloantibodies enhances complement activation on platelets [PDF]
Approximately 20% of patients receiving multiple platelet transfusions develop platelet alloantibodies, which can be directed against human leukocyte antigens (HLA) and, to a lesser extent, against human platelet antigens (HPA).

Localization of platelet antigens in human kidney disease
The localization of a platelet antigen or antigens kidneys from 106 patients with renal disease was evaluated with immunofluorescent microscopy by using a rabbit antibody to human platelets. The antiplatelet IgG fixed to the surface membrane of platelets did not react with erythrocytes, leukocytes, plasma, normal kidney, or a variety of normal tissue ...

Molecular typing of human platelet antigens in immune thrombocytopenia patients in northern Brazil
Background: Immune thrombocytopenia is an immune disease characterized by thrombocytopenia and bleeding due to platelet antibodies against platelet membrane glycoproteins. Human platelet antigens are derived from polymorphisms of these glycoproteins. The

Demand for human leukocyte antigen or human platelet antigen-selected platelets: An observational study at Canadian Blood Services. [PDF]
Abstract Background Platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) is a clinically important condition. The Human Leukocyte Antigen and Human Platelet Antigen (HLA/HPA) Platelet Program at Canadian Blood Services (CBS) provides platelet products to support such patients.
