    AbstractEssentials The immunogenesis of Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is not well understood. Immunization to platelet factor 4 (PF4)-heparin occurs early in life, before any heparin exposure. PF4 and PF4-heparin complexes induce the proliferation of CD14+ cells. Reduced levels of regulatory cytokines contribute to immune dysregulation in HIT.© 2018 International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis.
