Complement activation as a biomarker for platelet-activating antibodies in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
Journal Article J Thromb Haemost · March 2025 BACKGROUND: Immunoglobulin G antibodies (Abs) to platelet factor 4 (PF4) complexed to heparin (PF4/H) commonly occur after H exposure but cause life-threatening complications of H-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) in only a few patients. Presently, only plate ... Full text Link to item CitePlatelet and red cell responses to three North American pit vipers.
Journal Article Toxicon · August 28, 2024 We investigated the hemotoxic effects of three North American pit vipers in healthy human donor blood. Using experiments focusing on platelet and red blood cell activity, we found differential effects of these venoms on these cellular components. Platelet ...
