The development of a quantitative ELISA for antibodies against human platelet antigen type 1a

BACKGROUND : Severe neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia is often due to antibodies against human platelet antigen type 1a (HPA‐1a). The aim of this study was to develop a quantitative ELISA for the measurement of antibodies against HPA‐1a.
