Abstract
Objectives: HLA Class I, HPA (Human platelet antigen), CD36 allo/isoantibodies, and platelet glycoprotein autoantibodies are the primary causes of immune-mediated platelet transfusion refractoriness (iPTR). Detecting these antibodies and selecting antigen-negative platelets for transfusion effectively manages iPTR, but large-scale data on platelet antibody distribution in the Chinese population are scarce.
Methods: From Jan 2021 to Dec 2023, 2073 patients with suspected iPTR underwent platelet cross-matching via solid-phase red blood cell adherence. Sera from those with positive cross-matching (≥1 donor) were analyzed for platelet antibodies using Luminex. Correlations between antibody prevalence, age, gender, and diseases were statistically analyzed.
Results: 621 patients, 30.0% (621/2073) had positive cross-matching with ≥1 donor. Furthermore, 374 (60.2%) patients had platelet antibodies. Moreover, 429 antibodies were detected in these patients, and the constituent ratios of HLA Class I alloantibodies, HPA alloantibodies, autoantibodies (GPIIb/IIIa, etc), and CD36 isoantibodies were 78.09%, 4.65%, 17.01%, and 0.23%, respectively. Abs ranked as follows: HLA Class I > GPIIb/IIIa > GPIa/IIa > HPA-5b, GPIb/IX > HPA-3a > HPA-1b, 2b > HPA-3b, 4b, CD36. Lastly, positive platelet antibodies prevalence correlated with age and sex in leukemia and solid tumor patient groups.
Discussion: This study clarified platelet antibody distribution in Chinese iPTR patients. Besides HLA Class I antibodies, autoantibodies against platelet glycoproteins play a key role. Among HPA antibodies, HPA-5b may predominate in the Chinese population instead of HPA-1a.

Hematology is an international journal publishing original and review articles in the field of general hematology, including oncology, pathology, biology, clinical research and epidemiology. Of the fixed sections, annotations are accepted on any general or scientific field: technical annotations covering current laboratory practice in general hematology, blood transfusion and clinical trials, and current clinical practice reviews the consensus driven areas of care and management.
