Abstract
Drug-dependent antibodies that bind to granulocytes, erythrocytes, platelets or membrane proteins derived from these cells, in the presence of a drug, but not in its absence, can be detected using a sensitive assay. Detection of the drug-dependent antibodies permits diagnosis of cytopenia mediated by the drug.
