Amelioration of Murine Passive Immune Thrombocytopenia by IVIg and a Therapeutic Monoclonal CD44 Antibody Does Not Require the Myd88 Signaling Pathway
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune bleeding disorder characterized by a low platelet count and the production of anti-platelet antibodies. The majority of ITP patients have antibodies to platelet integrin αIIbβ3 (GPIIbIIIa) which can direct platelet phagocytosis by macrophages. One effec...
