We analyzed the immunological characteristics of patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and antiglycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa or GPIb autoantibodies. Among 101 ITP patients, 32 had anti-GPIIb/IIIa and 19 had anti-GPIb autoantibodies. Thrombocytopenia was more severe in patients with anti-GPIb autoantibodies than in patients without these autoantibodies, whereas ITP patients with anti-GPIIb/IIIa autoantibodies did not develop severe thrombocytopenia. Patients with anti-GPIb autoantibodies showed significant increases of platelet-associated IgM and platelet-associated C3 in comparison with patients without the autoantibodies, despite there being no significant difference in the platelet-associated IgG levels. The lymphocyte subsets and the blastogenic response in patients with anti-GPIb autoantibodies were also significantly different from those in the patients without these autoantibodies. Furthermore, severe purpura and a poor response to prednisolone were far more common in the patients with anti-GPIb autoantibodies. Activation of the complement system and/or functional abnormalities of lymphocytes thus appear to be involved in the development of thrombocytopenia in ITP patients with anti-GPIb autoantibodies, and such antibodies may be associated with a particularly severe form of ITP.

D007074 Immunoglobulin G The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B. Gamma Globulin, 7S,IgG,IgG Antibody,Allerglobuline,IgG(T),IgG1,IgG2,IgG2A,IgG2B,IgG3,IgG4,Immunoglobulin GT,Polyglobin,7S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgG,GT, Immunoglobulin
D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM

D010980 Platelet Membrane Glycoproteins Surface glycoproteins on platelets which have a key role in hemostasis and thrombosis such as platelet adhesion and aggregation. Many of these are receptors.

D003176 Complement C3 A glycoprotein that is central in both the classical and the alternative pathway of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION. C3 can be cleaved into COMPLEMENT C3A and COMPLEMENT C3B, spontaneously at low level or by C3 CONVERTASE at high level. The smaller fragment C3a is an ANAPHYLATOXIN and mediator of local inflammatory process. The larger fragment C3b binds with C3 convertase to form C5 convertase.

D001323 Autoantibodies Antibodies that react with self-antigens (AUTOANTIGENS) of the organism that produced them. Autoantibody
D016553 Purpura, Thrombocytopenic, Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia occurring in the absence of toxic exposure or a disease associated with decreased platelets. It is mediated by immune mechanisms, in most cases IMMUNOGLOBULIN G autoantibodies which attach to platelets and subsequently undergo destruction by macrophages. The disease is seen in acute (affecting children) and chronic (adult) forms.
