Lipopolysaccharide induces nitric oxide synthase expression and platelet-activating factor increases nitric oxide production in human fetal membranes in culture [PDF]
Platelet-activating factor and nitric oxide may be involved in the initiation of human labour as inflammatory mediators. The aim of this study was to test whether platelet-activating factor and lipopolysaccharide were able to induce nitric oxide synthase

Determination of platelet antigens and glycoproteins in the human fetus [PDF]
The autosomal recessive transmission of Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (GT) and Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS), together with requests of families who already had children with these diseases, prompted us to investigate the feasibility of their antenatal diagnosis. The preliminary step leading to the early detection of GT or BSS was to characterize, in the

Factor XI antigen and activity in human platelets [PDF]
Abstract Washed platelets, contaminated with less than 0.20% plasma factor XI, were examined for the presence of factor XI antigen and activity. These platelets contained a factor-XI-like coagulant activity (0.67 +/- 0.11 U/10(11) platelets) that remained constant after successive washes.

Association of human platelet antigen polymorphisms with platelet count and mean platelet volume [PDF]
Although recent genome-wide association studies have identified a number of single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with platelet count and mean platelet volume (MPV), it is unclear whether polymorphisms in the human platelet antigens (HPA) genes are associated with platelet count and MPV.

Foetal and neonatal alloimune thrombocytopenia as a rare exapmle of thrombocytopenia in newborn
Foetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is caused by antigenic incompatibility of platelets between a pregnant woman and her child, resulting in producing antibodies by a mother against specific antigens (HPA- Human Platelet Antigens ...

Differential recognition patterns of Schistosoma haematobium adult worm antigens by the human antibodies IgA, IgE, IgG1 and IgG4 [PDF]
Schistosoma haematobium antigen recognition profiles of the human isotypes IgA, IgE, IgG1 and IgG4 were compared by image analysis of western blots. Adult worm antigens separated by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis were probed with pooled sera from ...

Platelet antibodies identification: comparison between two laboratory tests
Introduction: Platelet antibody identification is indispensable for diagnosing the human platelet antigen (HPA) or human leukocyte antigen (HLA) immunization, mostly because it can restrict the compatibility and results of transfusions. Correct detection

Unappreciated HLA Antibodies in Adult Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disease. Platelet refractoriness is frequently seen in patients with ITP. Platelets express platelet-specific antigens and human leukocyte antigens (HLA).
