Expression and functional characterization of an abnormal platelet membrane glycoprotein Ib alpha (Met239 --> Val) reported in patients with platelet-type von Willebrand disease.

abstract：:Immune-mediated platelet destruction is most frequently caused by allo- or autoantibodies via Fcγ receptor-dependent phagocytosis. Disease severity can be predicted neither by antibody isotype nor by titer, indicating that other factors play a role. Here we show that the acute phase protein C-reactive protein (CRP), a...
