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).

Human platelet antigens – 2013 [PDF]
To date, 33 human platelet alloantigens (HPAs) have been identified on six functionally important platelet glycoprotein (GP) complexes and have been implicated in alloimmune platelet disorders including foetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT), posttransfusion purpura (PTP) and multitransfusion platelet refractoriness (MPR). The greatest

Human platelet antigens (HPAs) are glycoproteins on the platelet surface that a single nucleotide mutation in the coding region gene could lead to the variation of different HPA polymorphisms. These antigens have shown variation among different races and

In order to treat the alloimmunization platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR), human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-type and/or human platelet antigen (HPA)-type matched platelets between donors and patients are usually used.

Human Platelet Antigen Genotyping and Expression of CD109 (Human Platelet Antigen 15) mRNA in Various Human Cell Types [PDF]
CD109 gene encodes a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked glycoprotein found in a subset of platelets and endothelial cell, and human platelet antigen (HPA) 15 is found on CD109. We evaluated the HPA genotype and/or the CD109 mRNA expression on two peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC), two peripheral bloods (PB), 12 granulocyte products, natural killer ...

ObjectiveTransfusion of HLA-matched platelets can reduce the effect of alloimmune responses on platelet transfusion efficacy; however, finding HLA-matched platelets in the population is nearly impossible. Almost all HLA-matched platelets from related are

BACKGROUND: Immune platelet refractoriness is mainly caused by human leukocyte antigen antibodies (80-90% of cases) and, to a lesser extent, by human platelet antigen antibodies.

Molecular Genetics of Human Platelet Antigens
The purpose of this article is to review the molecular genetics of human platelet antigens, the application of molecular biological techniques to detect mutations underlying polymorphisms and the importance of these techniques for clinical medicine of immunemediated platelet destruction.
