Allele frequencies of Human Platelet Antigen 1 and Human Platelet Antigen 5 in the Maltese [PDF]
Background: The human platelet antigen systems consist of antigenic polymorphisms that arise from single base pair substitutions leading to amino acid changes in platelet glycoproteins. These polymorphisms cause a variety of clinically significant conditions where platelet typing is essential for accurate diagnosis and subsequent treatment.

Lipolysis generates platelet dysfunction after in vivo heparin administration [PDF]
Heparin, when administered to patients undergoing operations using cardiopulmonary bypass, induces plasma changes that gradually impair platelet macroaggregation, but heparinization of whole blood in vitro does not have this effect.

The origin of ABH antigens on human platelets [PDF]
Abstract ABH antigens are present on platelets from individuals of the corresponding red cell phenotype, but the extent to which these antigens are intrinsic or adsorbed remains undefined. To evaluate platelets for intrinsic H substance, an IgM mouse monoclonal antibody against type 2H chain (the intrinsic H structure found on ...

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
