Rare detection of hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus genomes by polymerase chain reaction in seronegative donors with elevated alanine aminotransferase.

abstract：BACKGROUND:An optimal cooling rate is critical for cryopreserving cord blood stem cells, so it is generally achieved by using controlled-rate freezers (CRFs). The cooling rate can be interrupted by many factors during cooling; therefore, a proper response to the interruption in cryopreservation is crucial to prevent th...
