Molecular studies and NK cell function of a new case of TAP2 homozygous human deficiency.

abstract：:Two facts support the definition of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) as an immune disorder. First, antibodies against platelets, which often appear after a viral infection, provoke the increased elimination of these cells. Viral disease may change the complex immune response of the host at different levels. I...
