The frequencies of HLA antigens were compared between 55 patients with and 38 patients without lymphocytotoxic antibodies formation after long-term platelet transfusions. Only HLA-B60 and B75 were found to manifest significant difference between these two groups. Patients with HLA homozygosity had a higher incidence of alloimmunization. Although most of the platelet alloantibodies were against HLA antigens of high frequency, the HLA-antibodies were induced at a rate different from the frequency of their corresponding antigens. The antibodies against the first and second HLA loci are of similar frequencies. In conclusion, the patients with HLA homozygous alleles have a higher incidence of platelet alloimmunization, and the antibody of certain specificities has higher rate of occurrence. These findings may be helpful in platelet-donor selection.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D006680 HLA Antigens Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases.

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
D000961 Antilymphocyte Serum Serum containing GAMMA-GLOBULINS which are antibodies for lymphocyte ANTIGENS. It is used both as a test for HISTOCOMPATIBILITY and therapeutically in TRANSPLANTATION.

D016913 Blood Component Transfusion The transfer of blood components such as erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, and plasma from a donor to a recipient or back to the donor. This process differs from the procedures undertaken in PLASMAPHERESIS and types of CYTAPHERESIS; (PLATELETPHERESIS and LEUKAPHERESIS) where, following the removal of plasma or the specific cell components, the remainder is transfused back to the donor.
