Assuming that you are interested in detecting autoantibodies or alloantibodies
to platelets, I would suggest looking at the following paper. I have not tried
this method, but it appears to be far more specific than any other method for
identifying specific epitopes and eliminating non-specific binding.

Koksch M, Rothe G, Kiefel V and Schmitz G. Fluorescence resonance energy
transfer as a new method for the epitope-specific characterization of
anti-platelet antibodies. J of Immunological Methods 187: 53-67, 1995.

Good luck,
Tony Bakke
