[97–99] There are two main causes for the bacteria-induced thrombocytopenia: Bacteria induce platelet activation. Activated platelets show shortened survival and are targets of phagocytic ...

GPIIb/IIIa and other platelet-related antigens. In addition to direct pathogenic effects of antibodies on megakaryocytes, there is evidence that cell-mediated cytotoxicity, complement activation ...

The same platelet RNA molecules - signs of megakaryocyte activation - were associated with longer-lasting antibody production for the various vaccines. The molecular signature could predict which ...

Results: Three of 78 patients (4%) developed anti-D antibodies after receiving RhD-incompatible platelet transfusions. One of the patients developed evidence of anti-RhD antibodies after receiving ...

Phosphospecific antibodies, however ... one often stimulates the cells to promote the activation, as illustrated by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB stimulation of different porcine ...
