Polymorphism of human platelet membrane glycoprotein IIIa and diagnostic and therapeutic applications thereof

摘要

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.
