Maximising platelet availability by delaying cold storage.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:White blood cell (WBC) fragments may cause human leucocyte antigen (HLA) immunization in recipients. We investigated the occurrence and production of WBC fragments in platelet concentrates (PCs) and plasma units, during storage and filtration, by using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...
