Notes:
Summary Platelet-associated IgG (PAIgG) was detected by means of anti-human IgG coated polyacrylamide beads (“Immunobeads”) technique in 32 patients with chronic ITP. Both a direct test (with in vivo sensitized platelets) and an indirect test (with in vitro loaded platelets) were carried out. The percent of rosette forming beads was both in the direct test (41.2%) and in the indirect test (32.6%) significantly higher in the cases of chronic ITP patients than in the controls (2.5% and 3.2%, respectively). These results confirm the diagnostic value of this new, relatively simple and rapid method in routine clinical practice.
