چکیده

In this report we describe a platelet alloantigen system that is carried on a novel platelet protein of 175 Kd. Antisera against the two alleles (Gova/Govb) were found in two patients who had received large numbers of platelet transfusions. The anti-Gov alloantibodies could not be detected using a whole platelet solid phase enzyme immunoassay, or by a platelet glycoprotein capture enzyme immunoassay using monoclonal antibodies against glycoproteins Ib/IX, Ia/IIa, and IIb/IIIa. Using radioimmunoprecipitation techniques, a protein was precipitated that migrated at 175 Kd (reduced). Under nonreduced conditions, a 150-Kd protein was detected with a minor component at 175Kd. The detection of the alloantigens was not activation-dependent. Using immunodepletion studies, we demonstrated that each alloantiserum recognized an epitope on a discrete population of the 175-Kd platelet protein. Family studies demonstrated that the alloantigens designated as Gova and Govb were inherited in an autosomal codominant fashion. The phenotypic frequencies were Gova/Gova, 26%; Gova/Govb, 55%; Govb/Govb, 19%; giving gene frequencies of 0.532 and 0.468 for Gova and Govb, respectively (n = 33).

Anti-Br was first identified in four cases of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT). The antigen Br is localized on the glycoprotein la/Ila complex of platelets. Anti-Br’ can best be detected by a glycoprotein-specific immunoassay using monoclonal antibodies for antigen immobilization (MAIPA assay) and radioimmunoprecipitation (RIP). Recently, we have identified sera from two polytransfus...

Human platelet alloantigens (HPAs) reside on functionally important platelet membrane glycoproteins and are caused by single nucleotide polymorphisms in the genes that encode them. Antibodies that form against HPAs are responsible for several clinically important alloimmune bleeding disorders, including fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia and posttransfusion purpura. The HPA-1a/HPA-1...

The heterodimeric complex glycoprotein (GP)IIb-IIIa, the fibrinogen receptor of platelets, carries numerous alloantigen systems. These polymorphisms are responsible for the immune response after transfusion or during pregnancy. In the latter case, the mother develops an antibody against an epitope present on fetal platelets, and this results in platelet destruction in the fetus. In this report,...

The cytoadhesin family consists of platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa and the endothelial vitronectin receptor. The beta subunit (GP IIIa) of these complexes expresses the alloantigen Zwa (or PIA1). This alloantigen is not expressed by members of other integrin subfamilies. By using immunoprecipitation and immunoblot techniques, we found that the beta subunit of a heterodimer, expressed by cul...
