Immunofluorescence of Megakaryocytes in the Thrombocytopenic Purpuras

Abstract

Abstract The fluorescent antibody technic was applied to the study of thrombocytopenic purpuras with a presumable immunologic pathogenesis. The results of the investigation suggest the hypothesis that some plasma protein material is strongly adherent to the surface of megakaryocytes in more than 50 per cent of cases of chronic ITP.
