Abstract
In this issue of Blood, Zhang et al show that genes of pluripotent stem cells coding for platelet surface glycoproteins may be changed to encode platelet-specific alloantigens, and that such antigens are efficiently expressed on the surface of the manipulated cells.1 The significance of this work is that such cells can be useful tools for the diagnostic studies of antibody-mediated platelet destruction.
