Chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a consequence of rapid platelet destruction caused by circulating platelet antibodies. In this study we compared three methods for detecting serum platelet antibodies in a population of 65 patients with chronic ITP. In two of the techniques intact platelets were used as the antibody target, i.e. the whole platelet ELISA and the flow cytometric assay; in the third an antigen-specific modified antigen capture ELISA (MACE) was employed. By using the whole platelet ELISA and the flow cytometric assay 35% and 45% of the patients, respectively, displayed an antiplatelet antibody. In most cases (26 or 29 patients) IgG was the predominant antiplatelet immunoglobulin. As analysed using the MACE-technique glycoprotein (GP) Ib/IX-specific antibodies occurred with the same frequency as antibodies specific for GPIIb/IIIa. Moreover, there was a poor correlation between the MACE results on the one hand and results from the intact platelet-based techniques on the other, i.e. several patients were positive in one assay whereas they were negative in the other. We conclude that all three techniques have their merits and demerits; it appears reasonable that they should be used together in the evaluation of the autoimmune process of chronic ITP.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007070 Immunoglobulin A Represents 15-20% of the human serum immunoglobulins, mostly as the 4-chain polymer in humans or dimer in other mammals. Secretory IgA (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, SECRETORY) is the main immunoglobulin in secretions. IgA,IgA Antibody,IgA1,IgA2,Antibody, IgA
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

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005260 Female Females
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
