Abstract
The technique of platelet aggregometry provides a simple, quantitative, and specific method for the detection of drug-dependent and isoimmune antiplatelet antibodies. In the presence of antiquinidine antibody, quinidine causes lysis of normal platelets in platelet-rich plasma. The resulting changes in optical density are readily detected in the aggregometer. The initial rate of lysis is a function of the antibody titer, but is relatively independent of the platelet count. In vitro, quinidine produces platelet swelling and inhibits aggregation of platelets by adenosine diphosphate, epinephrine, and collagen. Isoimmune antibodies cause aggregation of platelets in platelet-rich plasma. In studies of a single family the rate of aggregation is proportional to the number of HL-A antigens present on the normal platelets against which the antibody is directed. The simple technique of platelet aggregometry may be a useful adjunct in the selection of compatible donors for platelet transfusion. Serum derived from patients with idiopathic thromboytopenic purpura did not cause platelet aggregation.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
