  2. 1. On cellular immunology in chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)

    Author : Per-Ola Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : chronic ITP; T-cells; TGF-b1; Th3; cell-mediated cytotoxicity; KIR; DNA microarray;

    Abstract : Chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an acquired autoimmune disease characterized by a low platelet count and mucocutaneous bleedings. Chronic ITP is considered to be mediated by autoantibodies leading to premature destruction of platelets in the reticuloendothelial system. READ MORE
