title: [Test for anti-platelet antibody].
abstract: A number of methods have been established to detect platelet antibodies. This paper reviews the different methodologies that were developed to detect plasma anti-HLA antibodies and platelet specific antibodies, and their clinical usefulness. In addition, recent advances in platelet specific antigens and the methods to discriminate between anti-HLA antibodies and platelet specific antibodies are described.
