Platelet activation induced by an antiplatelet autoantibody against CD9 antigen and its inhibition by another autoantibody in immune thrombocytopenic purpura

Abstract: In a patient with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), we found a novel platelet-activating IgG (act-IgG) and an inhibitory IgG (inhi-IgG) that prevented activation induced by both CD9 monoclonal antibody (mAb) and the act-IgG. Purified IgG from the patient plasma caused a rise in [Ca2+]i and the aggregation of normal platelets, and bound to a 24 kD membrane protein. This aggregation was inhibited by aspirin, staurosporine, an inhibitor of protein kinase C, and F(ab')2 fragments of MALL13, a CD9 mAb. When th… Show more
