A Comparison of Two Assays for Platelet Antibodies
Abstract
The optimal method for assaying platelet bound antibody is uncertain. We have compared a fluorescent assay (FA) with a (quantitative) antiglobulin consumption assay for platelet associated IgG (PAIgG) in normals and thrombocytopenics with ITP, SLE, non-immune and drug-induced thrombocytopenia. Forty-eight of 49 hospitalized and healthy controls had normal PAIgG levels by the antiglobulin consumption assay (2.6 ± 0.2 fg IgG/platetet,
