    Abstract:
    A case of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia due to fetomaternal incompatibility against the platelet specific antigen PlA2 (Zwb) is described. Anti-PlA2 antibodies were present in the maternal serum together with anti-HLA antibodies. Initial identification of the platelet-specific antibodies was achieved by using chloroquine-treated PlA1(+) and PlA1(-) platelets. Antibody specificity was later confirmed using a panel of platelets of known phenotype.
