Popis: Thrombocytopenia is a frequent complication of primary antiphospholipid syndrome (PAPL) and has been attributed to antibodies directed against platelet glycoproteins (Gp) and also to antiphospholipid antibodies. We tested patients with PAPL with and without thrombocytopenia for specific antiplatelet autoantibodies. Platelet autoantibodies were detected by means of platelet immunoassays which included MAIPA with a panel of monoclonal antibodies directed against all the platelet Gps known to be possible targets for platelet autoantibodies. A high prevalence of serum platelet antibodies was found in patients with thrombocytopenia (73%, 11/15 patients) whereas antiplatelet antibody was detected in only one of the 10 control patients (P
