Kanack and colleagues analyze anti-platelet factor 4 antibodies from 5 patients with vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) secondary to COVID-19 adenoviral vaccination and antibodies from patients with spontaneous heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and classical HIT. VITT antibodies are monoclonal or oligoclonal, similar to spontaneous HIT, whereas classical HIT antibodies are polyclonal. Heparin inhibits antibody-induced platelet activation in VITT, suggesting that heparin should be considered for the treatment of VITT.
