Popis: Membrane glycoproteins are implicated in platelet functions.In myeloproliferative disorders some of the platelet functions are known to be perturbated and an abnormal glycoproteins pattern was demonstrated ear-lier.In this study flow cytometry analysis of human platelet membrane glycoproteins IIa and IIIa in patients with acute leukemias and malignant lymphomas has been performed using monoclonal antibodies against these glycoproteins.A reduction in number of glycoproteins receptors on platelet membrane was demonstrated in patients with acute leukemias and malignant lymphomas in comparison with platelets of healthy donors.In patients with leukemias the positive correlation of percentage of platelets recovered in various density receptor regions to bleeding time and negative correlation to platelet number for both glycoproteins have been found.The study demonstrated that flow cytometry can be a useful method of analysis of platelet membrane glycoproteins, and that the patients with acute leukemias and malignant lymphomas have the number of glycoproteins reduced.
