BACKGROUND: Heparin‐induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), which is caused by platelet (PLT)‐activating immunoglobulin (Ig)G antibodies against platelet factor 4 (PF4)/heparin complexes, differs from other immune responses seen in immunohematology: IgG antibodies are formed as early as 5 days even without previous heparin exposure; antibodies are remarkably transient (<100 days); HIT is more frequent in postsurgery patients compared with medical patients despite administering the same type and dose of heparin; and increasing evidence implicates autoantibody‐like reactivity of anti‐PF4/heparin antibodies. We hypothesized that these unusual features could be caused by loss of regulatory anti‐idiotype IgM antibodies due to disturbance (e.g., by surgery) of an idiotype–anti‐idiotype network.
