Prevalence and laboratorial determinants of the clinical relevance of antibodies of undetermined specificity.

abstract：:Recently, the polymorphism of a new human platelet antigen, Ca/Tu, was shown to be derived from a G-A nucleotide substitution at base 1564 of GPIIIa cDNA, which leads to a single amino acid difference, Arg/Gln at amino acid 489 of GPIIIa. We developed a PCR-RFLP method to determine the genotypes of Ca/Tu and their fre...
