    Journal: Br J Haematol; 2018 Aug; 182(3):423-426. PubMed ID: 29808904.
    Abstract:
    Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) is diagnosed by exclusion of other causes for thrombocytopenia. Reliable detection of platelet autoantibodies would support the clinical diagnosis of ITP and prevent misdiagnosis. We optimized our diagnostic algorithm for suspected ITP using the direct monoclonal antibody immobilization of platelet antigens assay (MAIPA), which evaluates the presence of platelet autoantibodies on the glycoproteins (GP) IIb/IIIa, Ib/IX and V bound on the patient platelets. The direct MAIPA was shown to be a valuable technique for the detection of platelet autoantibodies and could possibly become a guide for optimizing therapy towards a more personalized treatment of ITP.
