MeSH Heading: Antigens, Human Platelet
Tree Number(s): D23.050.705.115
Unique ID: D016824
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D016824
Annotation: restrict to antigens expressed on only platelets: do not confuse with HLA & other antigens expressed on platelets or other blood cells
Scope Note: Human alloantigens expressed only on platelets, specifically on platelet membrane glycoproteins. These platelet-specific antigens are immunogenic and can result in pathological reactions to transfusion therapy.
Entry Term(s): Antigens, Platelet-Specific; Human Platelet Antigen; Human Platelet Antigens; Platelet Alloantigen; Platelet Alloantigens; Platelet-Specific Antigen; Platelet-Specific Antigens
