A microplate immune-enzymatic method was developed for detecting serum antiplatelet antibodies. The method involves the use of antigen-coated platelets and alkaline phosphatase-labeled antihuman immunoglobulin. Linear correlation was obtained between the titer of platelet antibodies and substrate conversion. Twenty-four patients with immune thrombocytopenia and 40 normal controls were studied. Eighteen patients and one control were positive. Therefore, sensitivity and specificity were 75% and 97% respectively. ELISA also was found to be more sensitive than the indirect antiglobulin consumption assay (ACA) and appears to be a practical and easy method for routine evaluation of antiplatelet antibodies.

Abstract

A microplate immune-enzymatic method was developed for detecting serum antiplatelet antibodies. The method involves the use of antigen-coated platelets and alkaline phosphatase-labeled antihuman immunoglobulin. Linear correlation was obtained between the titer of platelet antibodies and substrate conversion. Twenty-four patients with immune thrombocytopenia and 40 normal controls were studied. Eighteen patients and one control were positive. Therefore, sensitivity and specificity were 75% and 97% respectively. ELISA also was found to be more sensitive than the indirect antiglobulin consumption assay (ACA) and appears to be a practical and easy method for routine evaluation of antiplatelet antibodies.
