Pseudothrombocytopenia with cold-type platelet agglutinins

Japanese Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Pseudothrombocytopenia is an in vitro phenomenon of platelet agglutination and clumping in the presence of EDTA on the electronical measurement of platelet count. Agglutinins reacting with platelet antigens belong to one heavy and one light chain of immunoglobulins with or without complement by immunofluorescence. The platelets are markedly agglutinated in EDTA, but scarcely in the presence of other anticoagulants. Agglutinations seem to occur more readily at cold temperature rather than at 37 degrees C.

Antibodies: Agglutination

Antibody-mediated agglutination is the clumping of cells in the presence of antibody, which binds multiple cells together. This enhances the clearance of pathogens. Find the latest research on antibody-mediated agglutination here.
