Abstract
- The frequencies of six platelet-specific antigens among Chinese in Taiwan are reported, which have not previously been well studied. HPA-1a (PlA1) antigen was positive in all 1100 Chinese tested. HPA-4b (Yukb) antigen was positive in all 100 persons tested. HPA-2b (Ko(a), Sib(a)) antigen was positive in 9 percent of 100 persons tested, HPA-3a (Bak(a)) in 77 percent, and NAKa in 96 percent. HPA-4a (Yuk(a)) antigen occurred in 0 percent in this study but is estimated to be present in 0.5 percent of the Taiwanese population.
