TLDR
The experience suggests that MAIPA assays are useful in the laboratory assessment of thrombocytopenia, should be performed before therapy, and that some patients with 'nonimmune' thromBocy topenia may have genuine antiplatelet antibodies.

A modern reassessment of glycoprotein-specific direct platelet autoantibody testing in immune thrombocytopenia

TL;DR: Glycoprotein-specific direct PA testing performed using ISTH recommendations in patients meeting ASH diagnostic criteria is sensitive and specific for ITP diagnosis and reliably confirms clinical remission.

CD20+ B-cell depletion therapy suppresses murine CD8+ T-cell–mediated immune thrombocytopenia

TL;DR: The outcome of B-cell depletion (Bdep) therapy on CD8(+) T-cell-mediated ITP was investigated using a murine model and correlated with normalization of in vivo platelet counts in the transferred SCID mice suggesting that anti-CD20 therapy significantly reduces the ability of CD8 (+) T cells to activate and mediate ITP.

Platelet autoantibodies and lupus-associated thrombocytopenia.

TL;DR: The production of specific anti‐platelet autoantibodies, mainly directed against GpIIb/IIIa, and their binding to platelet membrane plays an important role in the pathogenesis of SLE‐associated thrombocytopenia.

Approach to the Management of Autoimmunity in Primary Immunodeficiency

TL;DR: Management of autoimmunity in patients with PID requires special considerations because dysregulations and dysfunctions of the immune system along with persistent inflammation impair the process of diagnosis and treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drug-induced thrombocytopenia: localization of the binding site of GPIX-specific quinine-dependent antibodies.

TL;DR: The characterization of the quinine-dependent antibody activity of sera from 13 patients with qu inine-induced thrombocytopenia indicated that replacement of the Arg110 and Gln115 of the human GPIX with the corresponding residues from mouse resulted in a significant reduction in the binding of GPIX antibodies in this series of patients.

Monoclonal antibody--specific immobilization of platelet antigens (MAIPA): a new tool for the identification of platelet-reactive antibodies

TL;DR: A new assay is described that takes advantage of monoclonal antibodies against major platelet membrane constituents (glycoproteins IIb/IIIa and Ib and HLA class I molecule) to investigate selectively platelet reactive antibodies against epitopes on different glycoprotein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Demonstration of a thrombocytopenic factor in the blood of patients with thrombocytopenic purpura.

TL;DR: Two patients who were demonstrated to have the platelet-reducing factor prior to splenectomy still had the factor present after platelet counts had returned to normal following removal of the spleen, and the thrombocytopenic factor was found in the globulin fraction.

Similarities between known antiplatelet antibodies and the factor responsible for thrombocytopenia in idiopathic purpura. physiologic, serologic and isotopic studies

TL;DR: Direct evidence is concerns direct evidence that the ITP factor destroys autologous platelets and is most likely an antibody.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction of AP-2, a monoclonal antibody specific for the human platelet glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex, with intact platelets.

TL;DR: Evidence is obtained that the IIb-IIIa complex exists in the membrane of intact nonstimulated platelets and that complex integrity is not affected by external calcium ion concentration.

Platelet-associated and plasma anti-glycoprotein autoantibodies in chronic ITP

TL;DR: It is concluded that clinically adaptable assays allow detection of autoantibodies in most patients with chronic ITP, confirming the presence of an autoimmune process.
