Abstract
Summary. Platelet-associated IgG (PAIgG) was studied by a quantitative platelet radioactive anti-IgG test (PRAT) in 298 patients. At the time of investigation, 171 patients were thrombocytopenic (platelet count 1.8 g/l), Platelet survival studies (N=30) revealed that normal and increased values of PAIgG were associated with normal or shortened platelet mean life span. It is concluded that an elevated PAIgG is only one of several factors involved in the development of immunologically mediated thrombocytopenia.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
