Figure 817.1 Figure on left shows steps in the biosynthesis of heme. Some steps (first and last three) occur in mitochondria, while some occur in cytosol. Figure on right shows deficiency state associated with each enzyme. Deficiency of ALA synthase is associated with sideroblastic anemia, and deficiencies of other enzymes cause porphyria

LABORATORY TESTS IN PORPHYRIAS

Detection of platelet specific IgG antibodies to platelet glycoproteins (GP) IIb/IIIa, Ia/IIa, Ib/IX, IV or HLA class I (GP IIb/IIIa in this example) by MACE assay. Washed platelets were first incubated with human plasma (containing anti-platelet GP IIb/IIIa in this sample). The antibody-sensitized platelets were then lysed and the supernatant was added to a microplate precoated with murine monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) specific to platelet GP or HLA class I. Any human IgG bound to the GP or HLA class I antigen were detected with a alkaline phosphatase (ALP) conjugated antihuman IgG and substrate solution.
