Performance evaluation of the VersaTREK blood culture system for quality control testing of platelet units.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The performance of the VersaTREK blood culture system for the detection of a bacterial contamination of platelet concentrates was assessed using samples spiked with serial dilutions of nine bacterial species associated with platelet contamination. The system detected growth for all organisms in <20 h, and the detection sensitivity was <20 CFU/ml.

متن کاملThe role of platelet microparticles in the production of antibodies from B lymphocytes against HLA-DR antigen in vitro
Background: Platelets can activate B cells and stimulate them for the production of antibodies. Since platelet microparticles (PMPs) originate from platelets, they may have the same virtue. In the present study, the effect of PMPs was investigated on the production of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-specific antibody from B cells in vitro. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, HLA-D...
