A solid-phase ELISA to detect antibodies bound to the surface of canine platelets (platelet-bound antibodies) is described. Using this assay, the effect of anticoagulant and storage time of anticoagulant blood on the concentration of antibodies bound to the surface of platelets from clinically normal dogs was investigated. Blood from 3 clinically normal dogs was anticoagulated with acid citrate dextrose, Na3 citrate, and aqueous K3 EDTA and stored on ice for up to 48 hours. Platelet-bound antibody concentration was measured on platelets isolated from anticoagulated blood immediately after venipuncture and subsequent to storage of blood for 24 and 48 hours. Differences in platelet-bound antibody concentrations were investigated among dogs, anticoagulants, and storage times by ANOVA and Bonferroni pair-wise comparison of means. There was no effect of dog on platelet-bound antibody concentration. The effect of time was significant (P < 0.0001), with higher concentration of platelet-bound antibodies detected with increasing storage time. Effect of anticoagulant on platelet-bound antibody concentration was not statistically significant; however, there was a trend to increasing concentration of antibodies bound to platelets isolated from Na3 citrate- and K3 EDTA-anticoagulated blood. Moreover, there was significant (P = 0.02) interaction between anticoagulant and time. Platelet-bound antibody concentration increased with storage of anticoagulated blood prior to platelet isolation and with use of Na3 citrate and K3 EDTA anticoagulants. The preferred anticoagulant for platelet-bound antibody measurement is acid citrate dextrose. Platelet-bound antibody concentration should be determined not longer than 24 hours after blood collection.
