  • Method of detecting cytopenia that is mediated by drug-dependent antibody binding to blood cells
    Patent number: 5585243
    Abstract: Drug-dependent antibodies that bind to granulocytes, erythrocytes, platelets or membrane proteins derived from these cells, in the presence of a drug, but not in its absence, can be detected using a sensitive assay. Detection of the drug-dependent antibodies permits diagnosis of cytopenia mediated by the drug.

  • Polymorphism of human platelet membrane glycoprotein IIIa and diagnostic and therapeutic applications thereof
    Patent number: 5091302
    Abstract: Isolated polynucleotide molecules, and peptides encoded by those molecules, can be used in the analysis of alloantigen phenotypes, as well as in diagnostic and therapeutic applications relating to human platelet Pl.sup.A polymorphism. In this vein, a method for typing blood cell and platelet membrane glycoproteins entails an analysis of amplified cDNA, encoded by platelet and red blood cell mRNA.
