PLATELETS AND THROMBOPOIESIS Thymic retention of CD4 CD25 FoxP3 T regulatory cells is associated with their peripheral deficiency and thrombocytopenia in a murine model of immune thrombocytopenia
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a bleeding disorder in which antibodies and/or T cells lead to enhanced peripheral platelet destruction and reduced bone marrow platelet production. Several reports have observed that ITP is associated with a peripheral deficiency of tolerance-inducing CD4 CD25 FoxP3 T regulatory cells (Tregs). Using a murine model of ITP, we analyzed Tregs in the spleen and thy...
متن کاملPathophysiology of HIV related thrombocytopenia: an analysis of 41 patients.
AIM To analyse the pathogenic mechanism of HIV related thrombocytopenia. METHODS Forty one patients with thrombocytopenia and HIV-1 infection were investigated over two years. Anticardiolipin antibodies were measured using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and antiplatelet antibodies were measured using an immunocapture technique. Tests for VDRL, C3 and C4, antinuclear antibodies and rheum...
متن کاملThrombokinetics in man.
Platelet production, distribution, and destruction have been quantitated in normal man and in selected patients with platelet disorders. In most instances, total production as calculated from the megakaryocyte mass agreed with production estimated from platelet turnover. In patients with megaloblastosis, a discrepancy between these two measurements indicated the presence of ineffective thrombop...
متن کاملIncreased platelet destruction in infancy and childhood.
The number of platelets in the peripheral blood of healthy children, full-term, and premature infants falls into the same range as that of adults. Thrombocytopenia, defined as a platelet count of less than 150,000/mm(<150 × 10/L), may be due to decreased production, splenic sequestration, or increased platelet destruction. The following is a review of disorders involving the last mechanism, all...
متن کاملPLATELETS AND THROMBOPOIESIS Drug-dependent clearance of human platelets in the NOD/scid mouse by antibodies from patients with drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia
Drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia (DITP) is a relatively common and sometimes life-threatening condition caused by antibodies that bind avidly to platelets only when drug is present. How drugdependent antibodies (DDAbs) are induced and how drugs promote their interaction with platelets are poorly understood, and methods for detecting DDAbs are suboptimal. A small animal model of DITP could p...
