IPD - The Immuno Polymorphism DatabaseWelcome to IPD - HPA Database
Search the HPA DatabaseFor allele designation and sequence information select a protein from the first drop-down menu and then select either nucleotide or amino acid from the second drop-down menu. When you have made your selection press the "Go" button. Where discrepancies have arisen between reported sequences and those stored in the database, the original authors have been contacted where possible, and necessary amendments to published sequences have been incorporated in to this alignment. Future sequencing may identify errors in this list and we would welcome any evidence that helps to maintain the accuracy of these sequence alignments. If you are interested in submitting sequences to the database please contact Nick Watkins naw23@cam.ac.uk for further information. References

The database provides a centralised repository for the data which
define the human platelet antigens (HPA). Alloantibodies against
human platelet antigens are involved in neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia,
post-transfusion purpura and refractoriness to random donor platelets
. The Human Platelet Antigen (HPA) nomenclature system was adopted
in 1990 to overcome problems with the previous nomenclature. Since
then more antigens have been described and meanwhile the molecular
basis of many has been resolved, and the nomenclature was revised
in 2003.
