LPT results for enoxaparin (A) and fondaparinux (B). Lymphocyte micro-cultures were exposed to the culprit drugs at therapeutic concentration (TC), TC/10 and TCx10, respectively. The test was consistently positive (stimulation index ≥ 2), for all three concentrations for both drugs. Lymphocyte response to the mitogen phytohemagglutinin-M (PHA) was openly valid
