Antibody against megakaryocytes in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. 1978

R McMillan, and G A Luiken, and R Levy, and R Yelenosky, and R L Longmire

Purified human IgG from both serum and the culture of human splenic cells was radiolabeled with 125I. Incubation of radiolabeled IgG from patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) with normal homologous platelets or bone marrow cells resulted in significant (P less than .001) binding when compared with control IgG. Radioautographs showed that the radioactivity was associated with the platelets or megakaryocytes. The antiplatelet antibody in ITP has specificity for antigens associated with both platelets and megakaryocytes and suggests that thrombopolesis may also be affected in this disease.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D008533 Megakaryocytes Very large BONE MARROW CELLS which release mature BLOOD PLATELETS. Megakaryocyte
D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D011696 Purpura, Thrombocytopenic Any form of purpura in which the PLATELET COUNT is decreased. Many forms are thought to be caused by immunological mechanisms.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000918 Antibody Specificity The property of antibodies which enables them to react with some ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS and not with others. Specificity is dependent on chemical composition, physical forces, and molecular structure at the binding site. Antibody Specificities,Specificities, Antibody,Specificity, Antibody
