Study of Immune Thrombocytopenia Pathogenesis: (PTI PARI)

March 13, 2018 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon

Study of Immune Thrombocytopenia Pathogenesis: a Multicenter, Open and Controlled Study.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease characterized by a low platelet count responsible for bleedings. The disease is mostly mediated by antiplatelet antibodies produced by specific B cells. However, T cells are also involved but their role is not completely understood.

The aim of this study is to determine the implication of T cells in the pathogenesis of ITP, notably regulatory T cells (Treg, CD4+CD25highFoxp3+), cytotoxic T cells (CD3+CD8+) and T follicular helper cells (TFH, CD3+CD4+CXCR5+PD-1+ICOS+), in blood and in the spleen of primary ITP patients, compared to healthy controls.
