Beta-thromboglobulin and platelet factor 4 in polycythemia patients treated by ticlopidine. 1984

Y Najean, and O Poirier

34 polycythemic patients, in complete or partial stable remission, were studied for beta-thromboglobulin (beta-TG) and platelet factor 4 (PF-4) before, during and after treatment by an antiaggregating agent, ticlopidine, in comparison with 30 untreated patients. The cases with initial high value have an obvious drop, which is still maintained at the 2nd month after treatment, independent of variations of red cell and platelet counts. Any long-term protocol for clinical evaluation of antiaggregating therapy in myelo-proliferative diseases should be founded on evaluation of the markers of platelet function.

D010978 Platelet Factor 4 A CXC chemokine that is found in the alpha granules of PLATELETS. The protein has a molecular size of 7800 kDa and can occur as a monomer, a dimer or a tetramer depending upon its concentration in solution. Platelet factor 4 has a high affinity for HEPARIN and is often found complexed with GLYCOPROTEINS such as PROTEIN C.

D001620 beta-Thromboglobulin A platelet-specific protein which is released when platelets aggregate. Elevated plasma levels have been reported after deep venous thrombosis, pre-eclampsia, myocardial infarction with mural thrombosis, and myeloproliferative disorders. Measurement of beta-thromboglobulin in biological fluids by radioimmunoassay is used for the diagnosis and assessment of progress of thromboembolic disorders. beta-2 Thromboglobulin,Thromboglobulin, beta-2,beta 2 Thromboglobulin,beta Thromboglobulin
