[Thrombocyte migration test as a sensitive tolerance test before platelet substitution (proceedings)]

M Hasler, J Gmür, A von Felten

    Schweizerische Medizinische Wochenschrift
    |October 14, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    The thrombocyte migration test (TMT) shows higher sensitivity than the lymphocyte cytotoxicity test (LLT) for cross-matching platelet donors. TMT offers a more reliable method for selecting compatible platelets for patients refractory to standard transfusions.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Hematology
    • Transfusion Medicine

    Context:

    • Platelet refractoriness in thrombocytopenic patients necessitates compatible donor selection.
    • Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) matching is crucial but often unavailable.
    • Existing cross-match tests (CM) like the lymphocyte cytotoxicity test (LLT) have limitations.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the thrombocyte migration test (TMT) as a cross-match method.
    • To compare the sensitivity of TMT against LLT for antiplatelet antibody detection.
    • To assess TMT's efficacy in identifying compatible platelet donors for refractory patients.

    Summary:

    • The thrombocyte migration test (TMT) demonstrated superior sensitivity over the lymphocyte cytotoxicity test (LLT), detecting antiplatelet antibodies across 2-4 higher dilution steps.

  • TMT identified 5 of 9 patients with transfusion refractoriness and negative LLT results as positive (migration inhibition).
  • Enhanced platelet migration was observed in 3 cases, requiring further investigation; LLT can yield false positives due to antibodies against non-platelet antigens.

    • Impact:

    • TMT offers a more sensitive and potentially more accurate cross-match method for platelet transfusions.
    • Successful platelet support was achieved using TMT-selected donors in patients with negative TMT results despite positive LLT.
    • This research may improve donor selection strategies, enhancing transfusion outcomes for difficult-to-treat patients.
