PF4 Antibody Persistence and Long-term Pathogenicity in VITT

Anand Padmanabhan, Professor and Consultant at Mayo Clinic, shared on LinkedIn:

”Congrats to Adam Kanack, Emily Mauch, Guillaume Roberge, and coauthors related to their study on long-term persistence and pathogenicity of VITT antibodies.

Key points:
– Despite clonal restriction of Anti-PF4 abs in VITT, unlike MGTS, these monoclonal spikes are not seen when the entire IgG repertoire is examined. You unmask anti-PF4 clonal restriction only when you isolate the anti-PF4 antibodies
– In some cases, VITT abs can comprise kappa light chains (dogma to date is that it can only be lambda)
– As shown in a case in our report, thrombocytopenia can persist for more than 4 years.”
