The Use of Heterologous Antilymphocyte Globulin (alg) in Human Renal and Liver Transplantation.
Early in 1967, preliminary reports were made from our institutions (Starzl, Marchioro et al. 1967; Starzl, Porter et a/., 1967) of the first clinical use of heterologous antilymphocyte globulin (ALG). T h ~ s immunosuppressive agent was prepared from the serum of horses that had been immunized against cadaveric lymphoid tissue, especially spleens (Iwasaki et al., 1967). It was added to therapy ...
متن کاملAnti-thymocyte globulin induced thrombocytopenia.
Anti-thymocyte globulin is strongly reactive with platelets as measured by flow cytometric analysis. This reactivity appears to be independent of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) phenotype, is dose-dependent with saturation of platelet binding sites readily achieved with concentrations of horse anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) at 0.25 mg per ml, and cannot be blocked with human anti-PLA1 antibody nor...
متن کاملAcquired Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia in a Child: A Very Rare Case
Acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenic purpuria (AATP) is an unusual hematologic disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia resulting from an unexplained reduction in the number of bone marrow megakaryocytes in the presence of otherwise normal hematopoiesis in the bone marrow [1]. The exact prevalence of acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia is unknown due to its very rare incidence. Aro...
متن کامل“Almost Bleeding to Death”: The Conundrum of Acquired Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia
Acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (AAT) is a rare hematological disorder causing severe thrombocytopenia and bleeding. Previous in vitro studies postulated both cell-mediated suppression of megakaryocytopoiesis in early megakaryocytic progenitor cells and humoral-mediated suppression by anti-thrombopoietin antibodies as possible etiologies of AAT. Patients with AAT usually present with ...
متن کاملCongenital Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia: A Brief Review of the Literature
Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT) is a rare inherited autosomal recessive disorder that presents with thrombocytopenia and absence of megakaryocytes. It presents with bleeding recognized on day 1 of life or at least within the first month. The cause for this disorder appears to be a mutation in the gene for the thrombopoeitin (TPO) receptor, c-Mpl, despite high levels of serum ...
