Assessment of methods for cytomegalovirus antibody testing of blood donations.

abstract：:The biochemical status of whole blood stored in containers fabricated of ethylene ethylacrylate (EEA) film was monitored at several times during 4 weeks of storage at 4 degrees C. Fifteen biochemical indicators were studied to reflect on erythrocyte integrity, cellular metabolism, plasma protein stability, and microag...

abstract：:The granulocyte immunofluorescence test (GIFT) is valuable for detecting allogeneic and autologous granulocyte antibodies. However, the original tube technique (macro GIFT) requires 50-100 microliters of serum and 10(6) granulocytes with time-consuming washing steps which cause cell loss.
