...: MPV, glycocalicin and platelet-associated IgG (PA-IgG) were measured in 107 patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and 19 patients with hypoproductive thrombocytopenia (HPT; aplastic anemia or leukemia), and TPO was measured in 53 ITP and 12 HPT patients. All the included ITP patients...

...Giuseppe Leone; Augusto Agostini; Giorgio Mango; Raffaele Landolji; Vanna M. Valori; Bruno Bizzi Percentage of megathrombocytes, platelet regeneration time (PRT) and platelet-Associated IgG (Pl-A-IgG) were investigated in 12 patients with clinical features consistent with idiopathic...

... in platelet counts. In 4 of the 5 cases, transient increase in platelet count was observed. Platelet-associated IgG was decreased in 3 cases, increased in 1 case and unchanged in 1 case after treatment. In 4 cases having a variety of autoantibodies, the antibody titers decreased after treatment...

...Tadahiro Tsubakio; Yoshiyuki Kurata; Takeshi Yonezawa; Teruo Kitani In order to measure platelet-associated IgG (PAIgG), we devised a solidphase enzyme immunoassay employing a competitive binding of peroxidase-conjugated anti-IgG antiserum between platelets and polystyrene tubes coated with IgG...

... ratio by the direct assay and 67% by the indirect assay. There was a highly significant inverse correlation between the direct phagocytosis ratio and the platelet count (p < 0.001), but not between the indirect phagocytosis ratio and the platelet count. The amount of platelet-associated IgG (PAIgG...

... was admitted with anaemia, thrombocytopenia, and lymphadenopathy. The patient was DAT negative, although he exhibited the clinical features of warm-type AIHA and elevated levels of red-blood-cell-associated IgG (RBC-IgG). The serum level of platelet-associated IgG (PA-IgG) was markedly increased. A biopsy...
