Does the proline-rich tyrosine kinase Pyk2 regulate platelet integrin αIIbβ3 outside-in signaling?
These results identify a novel pathway of integrin αIIbβ3 outside-in signaling and recognize the tyrosine kinase Pyk2 as a major regulator of platelet adhesion and spreading on fibrinogen.
IVIG induced long-term clinical remission, while displaying a corticocorticosteroid-sparing effect and evoking a long-standing immunomodulatory effect in PV patients. The safety profile of IVIG therapy was assessed as good.
