Is the mysterious platelet receptor GPV an unsuspected major target for platelet autoantibodies?

Abstract

To confirm an origin of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), serum autoantibodies are routinely tested for by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), or monoclonal antibody immobilization of platelet antigens (MAIPA), with the integrin alpha IIb-beta 3 (αIIbβ3) and glycoprotein (GP)Ib-IX receptors on
