    Abstract Within the first months of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign, previously healthy recipients who developed severe thrombosis (often cerebral and/or splanchnic vasculature) and thrombocytopenia typically after adenoviral vector-based vaccination were identified. Similarities between this syndrome, vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia prompted recognition of the role of antiplatelet factor 4 (PF4) antibodies and management strategies based on IV immunoglobulin and nonheparin anticoagulants, which improved outcome. We update current understanding of VITT and potential involvement of anti-PF4 antibodies in thrombotic disorders.

    Abstract Platelet factor 4 (PF4, synonym: CXCL4) is an evolutionary old chemokine with proposed roles in hemostasis and antimicrobial defense. In addition, PF4 has attracted considerable attention as a crucial mediator of one of the most prothrombotic adverse drug effects affecting blood cells, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). Interest in PF4 substantially increased in 2021 when it was identified as the target antigen in the life-threatening adverse effect, vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT). We address the concept that a major biological function of PF4-a strongly cationic chemokine-is to bind to negatively-charged prokaryotic microorganisms, resulting in structural changes in PF4 that trigger a danger signal recognized by the adaptive immune system. Application of biophysical tools has provided substantial insights into the molecular mechanisms by which PF4 becomes immunogenic, providing insights into a new mechanism of autoimmunity. Binding of autoantibodies with high affinity induces conformational change(s) in the endogenous protein, which are then recognized as foreign antigen, as exemplified by the prothrombotic disorders, autoimmune HIT and VITT. The final part of our review summarizes current assays for HIT and VITT, explaining how structural aspects of anti-PF4 pathobiology relate to assay design and performance characteristics. Currently, functional (platelet activation) assays using washed platelets detect HIT antibodies when heparin is added, and VITT antibodies when PF4 is added. Solid-phase PF4-dependent immunoassays using microtiter plates are sensitive for both HIT and VITT antibodies, while rapid immunoassays, in which the PF4/heparin antigen is coated on beads, are sensitive and specific for HIT, but not for VITT antibodies.

    Abstract Antibodies against the chemokine platelet factor 4 (PF4) occur often, but only those that activate platelets induce severe prothrombotic disorders with associated thrombocytopenia. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is the prototypic anti-PF4 disorder, mediated by strong activation of platelets through their FcγIIa (immunoglobulin G [IgG]) receptors (FcγRIIa). Concomitant pancellular activation (monocytes, neutrophils, endothelium) triggers thromboinflammation with a high risk for venous and arterial thrombosis. The classic concept of HIT is that anti-PF4/heparin IgG, recognizing antigen sites on (cationic) PF4 that form in the presence of (anionic) heparin, constitute the heparin-dependent antibodies that cause HIT. Accordingly, HIT is managed by anticoagulation with a nonheparin anticoagulant. In 2021, adenovirus vector COVID-19 vaccines triggered the rare adverse effect "vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia" (VITT), also caused by anti-PF4 IgG. VITT is a predominantly heparin-independent platelet-activating disorder that requires both therapeutic-dose anticoagulation and inhibition of FcγRIIa-mediated platelet activation by high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). HIT and VITT antibodies bind to different epitopes on PF4; new immunoassays can differentiate between these distinct HIT-like and VITT-like antibodies. These studies indicate that (1) severe, atypical presentations of HIT ("autoimmune HIT") are associated with both HIT-like (heparin-dependent) and VITT-like (heparin-independent) anti-PF4 antibodies; (2) in some patients with severe acute (and sometimes chronic, recurrent) thrombosis, VITT-like antibodies can be identified independent of proximate heparin exposure or vaccination. We propose to classify anti-PF4 antibodies as type 1 (nonpathogenic, non- platelet activating), type 2 (heparin dependent, platelet activating), and type 3 (heparin independent, platelet activating). A key concept is that type 3 antibodies (autoimmune HIT, VITT) require anticoagulation plus an adjunct treatment, namely high-dose IVIG, to deescalate the severe anti-PF4 IgG-mediated hypercoagulability state.
