Maternal human platelet antigen-1a antibody level correlates with the platelet count in the newborns: a retrospective study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Proinflammatory cytokines were measured in the supernatant portion of stored, bacterially contaminated, and/or white cell (WBC)-reduced units of red cells (RBCs). Previous studies from this laboratory and others have shown that cytokines are generated in platelet concentrates during storage. This earlier wor...
