Use of monoclonal anti-C3 antibodies to characterise the fragments of C3 that are found on erythrocytes.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Recent studies suggest that transfusion of old red blood cell (RBC)s, mainly those close to the 42-day maximum shelf life (MSL), is associated with increased morbi-mortality. Although there is no formal proof supporting a causal relationship, the precautionary principle asks for corrective inte...
