Abstract
The detection of platelet-specific antibodies plays an important role in the clinical diagnosis of primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). MAIPA assay and PakAuto assay are the two main methods for this purpose. However, a comprehensive comparative evaluation of these techniques in clinical practice remains lacking. In this study, we collected 48 patients with thrombocytopenia. MAIPA and PakAuto are used to examine platelet-specific antibodies synchronously. Based on methodologies and analysis of experimental results, we conclude that PakAuto assay with a high sensitivity and accuracy can offer higher throughput and broader human platelet antibodies detection capabilities, making it more suitable for screening.
