“…In addition, antibodies against plasma proteins, such as immunoglobulin A or haptoglobin, may react with plasma proteins in transfused PCs; 15‐18 thus, transfusion reactions are reported in recipients with a deficiency in any of these plasma proteins. Several biological response modifiers (BRMs), including cytokines, 19,20 chemokines, 21 and glycoproteins 22‐26 may also be involved in transfusion reactions. Thus, the various molecules that are responsible for PLT transfusion reactions and the mechanisms by which transfusion reactions are induced after PLT transfusion are complicated and not completely understood.…”
