Human platelet antigen frequencies in the South African blood donor population determined by polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers
Platelets play an integral part in the blood clotting process. The normal platelet count ranges from 150 to 400 x 103/μl. To date, twenty-four platelet-specific antigens have been defined. Human Platelet Antigens (HPA) 1-5 and –15 belong to diallelic systems and antibodies formed in response to immu...
