A functionally distinct HPA ‐1a‐specific alloantibody associated with fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia that activates platelets via FcγRIIa

Abstract Background Fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is caused by maternal alloantibodies directed against fetal platelet antigens, most commonly human platelet antigen‐1a (HPA‐1a). These antibodies mediate platelet destruction and can lead to fetal and neonatal...
