Anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) screening at a Canadian Red Cross center: significance of a positive c100 HCV enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

abstract：BACKGROUND:RBCs modified with cyanuric chloride activated methoxy-PEG (CmPEG; 5000 Da) are less immunogenic than untreated RBCs, and their use thus may reduce the risk of alloimmunization in chronically transfused patients. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS:To further examine the potential utility of CmPEG-RBCs, the effects of...
