Binding of quinine- and quinidine-dependent antibodies to platelets was studied using an electroimmunoassay to measure platelet-bound IgG. Antibodies from 4 patients with drug-induced thrombocytopenia differed significantly in their interaction with platelets: association constants for binding to platelets at high drug concentrations ranged from 0.29 to 2.6 .times. 107 M-1, the maximum number of antibody molecules bound was 36,000-161,000/platelet, the amount of drug necessary to achieve half-maximum binding of antibodies to platelets was 2-60 .mu.M and only 1 of the antibodies cross-reacted with the stereoisomer of the drug to which the patient was sensitized. Binding of the antibodies to platelets was enhanced at the highest achievable molar ratio of drug:antibody, 10,000:1, rather than being inhibited, as would be expected in a conventional, hapten-dependent reaction. The drug-antibody-platelet reaction was unaffected by Factor VIII/von Willebrand protein, nonspecifically aggregated IgG, or heat-labile complement components. After pretreatment with 3H quinine, platelets retained several 100,000 molecules of drug each, but failed to bind detectable amounts of antibody. Platelets treated simultaneously with quinine-dependent antibody and 3H quinine retained significantly more drug after repeated washes than platelets treated with drug and normal serum. Evidently in quinine- and quinidine-induced thrombocytopenia, drug and antibody combine first in the soluble phase to form a complex, which then binds with high affinity to a receptor on the platelet surface (innocent bystander reaction). These antibodies are heterogenous in respect to the amount of drug required to promote their binding to platelets, the number of platelet receptors they recognize and their binding affinities.
