  • Diagnostic devices, methods and systems for detecting platelet factor 4 (PF4)/heparin antibodies
    Patent number: 9599623
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel assay for detecting human antibodies specific for a platelet factor 4 (PF4)/heparin complex in a fluid sample. The assay utilizes an immobilized PF4/polyanion complex and an anti-human antibody conjugated to a non-particulate fluorescent dye to capture and detect human PF4/heparin antibodies. Various devices, methods and systems based on the disclosed PF4/heparin assay are also provided.
