Absence of transfusion-associated microchimerism in pediatric and adult recipients of leukoreduced and gamma-irradiated blood components.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Storage of blood units (for 35-42 days, depending on the preservative solution) has been reported to induce changes (e.g., reduction of sialic acid level) in red cells that are expected to alter their aggregability. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS:The aggregability of stored red cells was monitored in their autolo...
