Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune bleeding disorder in which autoantibodies and/or autoreactive T cells destroy platelets and megakaryocytes in the spleen and bone marrow, respectively.

Anti‐platelet antibody immunoassays in childhood immune thrombocytopenia: a systematic review
In adult immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), an acquired autoimmune bleeding disorder, anti‐platelet autoantibody testing may be useful as a rule‐in test. Childhood ITP has different disease characteristics, and the diagnostic and prognostic value of anti ...

Platelet-collagen adhesion: evidence for participation of antigenically distinct entities. [PDF]
Univalent antibody fragments prepared from a rabbit antiserum raised against whole human platelets completely inhibited adhesion of platelets to immobilized trimeric collagen in a defined, Mg2+-dependent, adhesion assay.

Protein disulfide isomerase acts as an injury response signal that enhances fibrin generation via tissue factor activation [PDF]
The activation of initiator protein tissue factor (TF) is likely to be a crucial step in the blood coagulation process, which leads to fibrin formation. The stimuli responsible for inducing TF activation are largely undefined.

Platelet Apoptosis in Adult Immune Thrombocytopenia: Insights into the Mechanism of Damage Triggered by Auto-antibodies [PDF]
Mechanisms leading to decreased platelet count in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) are heterogeneous. This study describes increased platelet apoptosis involving loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), caspase 3 activation (aCasp3) and ...

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.

Intraoperative blood transfusions in highly alloimmunized patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation. [PDF]
Intraoperative blood requirements were analyzed in patients undergoing primary orthotopic liver transplantation and divided into two groups on the basis of panel reactive antibody of pretransplant serum measured by lymphocytotoxicity testing.

Syk-dependent Phosphorylation of CLEC-2: A Novel Mechanism of Hem-Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-Based Activation Motif Signaling [PDF]
The C-type lectin-like receptor CLEC-2 signals via phosphorylation of a single cytoplasmic YXXL sequence known as a hem-immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (hemITAM).
