Background	Neonatal AlloImmune Thrombocytopenia (NAIT) is the commonest cause of severe isolated thrombocytopenia in the foetus and newborn. In Caucasians, 97% of NAIT are caused by HPA-1a or HPA- 5b alloantibodies. B4F12 was isolated after combination of CD40 activation and Epstein-Barr virus transformation of B cells isolated from a woman with high titre of anti -HPA-5b alloantibodies. B4F12 human monoclonal antibody recognizes GPIa-IIa preferentially on activated human platelets (Mérieux Y, Rigal D, Pin JJ, XVIIth Regional Congress, International Society of Blood Transfusion, Madrid 2007 ; Guillot-Chene P, Lebecque S, Rigal D, Annales Pharmaceutiques Françaises, 06/2009, 67 (3) 182-6).
Synonyms	human platelet antigen 5b
