Abstract

The results of this study support the importance of anti-PF4/heparin antibodies in the parthogenesis of HIT. The induction of mouse anti-PF4/heparin and thrombocytopenia upon exposure to heparin can provide a means to evaluate new therapeutic modalities for immunoregulation of anti-PF4/heparin expression.
