Background	Neonatal AlloImmune Thrombocytopenia (NAIT) is the commonest cause of severe isolated thrombocytopenia in the foetus and newborn. In Cauc asians, 97% of NAIT are caused by HPA-1a or HPA- 5b alloantibodies. By combining CD40 activation and Epstein-Barr virus transformation of B cells isola ted from a woman with high titre of anti -HPA-5b alloan tibodies. F2H11 human monoclonal antibody is highly specific (does not bind to HPA5a) , and allows a r apid and accurate phenotyping of pregnant women as well as selection of blood donors.
