Neutrophil activation and NETosis are the major drivers of thrombosis in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia

The pathogenesis of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (HIT) is mediated by heparin-reactive autoantibodies binding to platelets (thrombocytes). Here the authors show neutrophil activation and NETosis are elevated in patients with HIT, and are essential for thrombosis in HIT mouse model...
