Major reported autoantibodies, inducing bleeding complications, and their laboratory interference
Targeted autoantigen | Clinical context | Biological effect | Interference in laboratory assays |
---|---|---|---|
PT | Bleeding, bruise, peripheral thrombosis | Accelerated FII clearance, inhibition of coagulation cascade | LA, apparent FII, V, VII, IX, X, XI, XII deficiencies |
FV | Severe bleeding (ultra-rare; association with antibiotics) | Decreased FV activity, coagulation cascade inhibition | LA, apparent FV, VII, IX, X, XI, XII deficiencies |
FVII | Asymptomatic to severe bleeding (ultra-rare) | FVII inhibition | Prolonged PT, FVII deficiency |
FVIII | Severe recurrent hemorrhages (frequent in hemophilia A) | FVIII inhibition | Prolonged APTT and mixing tests, FVIII deficiency |
FIX | Severe bleeding (can occur in hemophilia B) | FIX inhibition | Prolonged APTT and mixing tests, FIX deficiency |
FX | Ultra-rare, bruise | FX inhibition | Prolonged APTT, FX deficiency |
FXIII | Delayed bleeding (can be fatal) | Delayed bleeding, intracranial hemorrhages | Decreased FXIII activity, variable FXIII-A antigen |
AT | Enhanced AT activity, bleeding tendency | “Heparin-like” behavior enhances AT activity | Prolonged thrombin time |
vWF | Severe bleeding | Reduced Plt adhesiveness | Decreased vWF activity (collagen binding) |
GP-IIb-IIIa | Thrombocytopenia, bruise, bleeding | ITP | MAIPA assay, Plt count, flow cytometry |
GP1b-IX | Thrombocytopenia, bruise, bleeding | ITP | MAIPA assay, Plt count, flow cytometry |
GPVI | Bruise, bleeding | ITP | MAIPA assay, Plt count, flow cytometry |
APTT: activated partial thromboplastin time; AT: antithrombin; ITP: immune thrombocytopenic purpura; MAIPA: monoclonal antibody-specific immobilization of Plt antigens
