Abstract:
The objective of the work presented in this thesis was to explore the role of potential alternatives to platelet transfusions and specifically to investigate whether desmopressin could be used for treatment of thrombocytopenia or platelet dysfunction. Patients with thrombocytopenia or platelet dysfunction are often treated with platelet transfusions to treat or prevent bleeding. However the evidence for the efficacy of platelet transfusion is limited and there is some evidence of harm. I have focused on thrombocytopenic patients with haematological malignancies or critically ill patients, who

Abstract:
Immune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a potentially serious complication of heparin therapy and is associated with antibodies directed against a complex of platelet factor 4 (PF4) and heparin. Early diagnosis of HIT is important to reduce morbidity and mortality. I developed an enzyme immunoassay that detects the binding of HIT IgG to PF4-heparin in the fluid phase. This required techniques to purify and biotinylate PF4. The fluid phase assay produces consistently low background and can detect low levels of anti-PF4-heparin. It is suited to testing alternative anticoagulants because

Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT) is caused by maternal alloantibodies against fetal platelet antigens inherited from the father and which are absent from maternal platelets. In Caucasians, antibodies against the Leu33 (HPA-1a) polymorphism of integrin β3 (part of the platelet αIIbβ3 complex) account for >70% of cases. Antenatal screening for these antibodies does not currently take place in the UK, partly because of the absence of sensitive, predictive tests. We hypothesized that the poor sensitivity and predictive abilities of current assays are due to the use of β3 in an inappropr

A research report submitted to the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Medicine in Obstetrics and Gynaecology MMed (O&G) Johannesburg, May 2016<br>Background Pre-eclampsia can result in abnormal platelet function and count. Due to lack of resources and the subsequent over burden of specimens sent to our National Health Laboratory Services (NHLS), these results may not be obtained on time. Obstetricians and anaesthetists therefore make assumptions about platelet count in pre-eclamptic women – a common assu

Abstract:
This work summarizes the results of studies on three major aspects of platelet signaling and of the pathogenesis of immune thrombocytopenia. Therefore, this thesis is divided into three parts. i) Platelet activation and subsequent thrombus formation at sites of vascular injury is crucial for normal hemostasis, but it can also trigger myocardial infarction and stroke. The initial capture of flowing platelets to the injured vessel wall is mediated by the interaction of the glycoprotein (GP) Ib-V-IX complex with von Willebrand factor (vWF) immobilized on the exposed subendothelial extracellular m

La greffe de cellules souches hématopoïétiques est parfois le seul traitement efficace contre les cancers hématologiques ainsi que plusieurs autres désordres reliés au système hématopoïétique. La greffe autologue est souvent le traitement de choix pour les patients atteints de lymphome ou de myélome. Dans ce cas, les cellules souches hématopoïétiques (CSH) du patient sont récoltées et congelées. Le patient subit ensuite des traitements de chimiothérapie et/ou radiothérapie qui éliminent les cellules malignes, mais détruisent aussi son système hématopoïétique. Ce dernier sera ensuite rec

Abstract:
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)<br>Solid organ transplantation is limited by available donor allografts. Pig to human transplantation, xenotransplantation, could potentially solve this problem if physiologic and immunologic incompatibilities are overcome. Genetic modifications of pigs have proven valuable in the study of xenotransplantation by improving pig to human compatibility. More genetic targets must be identified for clinical success. First, this study examines platelet homeostasis incompatibilities leading to acute thrombocytopenia in liver xenotransplanta

Abstract:
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a common bleeding disorder caused primarily by autoantibodies against platelet GPIIbIIIa and/or the GPIb complex. Current theory suggests antibody-mediated platelet destruction occurs in the spleen via Fcγ receptors (FcγR). However, it has been demonstrated that anti-GPIbα-mediated ITP is often refractory to therapies targeting FcγR pathways. Utilizing a panel of murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against murine and human GPIIbIIIa and GPIbα, it was found that anti-GPIbα induces not only platelet activation to a much greater extent than anti-GPIIbIIIa antibodi

Myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke are in high lethal rates each year. Therefore, several antiplatelet agents are indicated for preventing abnormal thrombus formation in daily life or after coronary surgery. However, current anti-platelet agents have the risk of bleeding. For safety issue, thrombus prevention with lower bleeding risk is the concerning issue of new generation antiplatelet agent

No<br>The isolation and characterisation of antiplatelet antibodies in autoimmune thrombocytopenia purpura patients (ITP) is described. Autoimmune thrombocytopenia purpura is an autoimmune disease, clinically defined by low platelet counts, normal or increased megakaryocytopoiesis and antiplatelet antibodies in serum. This study used phage display to isolate Fab antiplatelet antibodies to study the structure-function relationships of pathogenic antibodies in ITP. Out of six randomly selected colonies, four colonies reacted strongly with whole platelets in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELI
