Binding of HNA-3a alloantibodies depends on the conformation of the intact CTL2 protein and their binding sites may differ substantially. Peptide-based assays for detection of HNA-3a antibodies bear the risk to be insensitive and require systematic validation with a large panel of antibodies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
