Successful transfusion of platelets cryopreserved for more than 3 years.

چکیده
To determine the duration of storage for cryopreserved platelets, 14 transfusions of random-donor, pooled platelets, stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen for a mean period of 1157 days (range 1060-1240), were analyzed. Twelve of these transfusions were compared in a paired fashion with fresh, random-donor, pooled platelets given within a few days to the same thrombocytopenic recipients. Platelets had been frozen using 5% dimethylsulfoxide as a cryoprotective agent either at a controlled rate of -1 degrees C/min to -80 degrees C or by simply placing them in the vapor phase (-120 degrees C) of a liquid nitrogen freezer. The mean freeze-thaw loss for the 14 transfusions was 22%, and the mean corrected 1-hr increment in platelet count was 12,600/microliter. In the 12 paired observations, the mean corrected 1-hr increment for frozen platelets was 11,800/microliter and 25,900 for fresh platelets, giving a frozen/fresh recovery of 46%. Random donor platelets can be cryopreserved by these methods for greater than 3 yr with satisfactory post-transfusion increments. This suggests that a reservoir of frozen platelets, either random-donor for emergency transfusion or of known HLA-type for transfusion to alloimmunized patients, can be established and stored for at least 3 yr.

Comparison of the transfusion effects of fresh and cryopreserved apheresis platelets
In this study, the clinical transfusion effects of fresh and cryopreserved apheresis leukocyte-reduced Platelets (PLTs) were examined. In total, 102 patients admitted to our hospital between August 2012 and August 2013 were enrolled, including 50 non-hematonosis patients and 52 hematonosis patients. Among them, 45 received fresh apheresis PLTs and 57 received cryopreserved PLTs. Patient blood P...
متن کاملThe source of HLA molecules on platelets: Does platelets adsorb soluble HLA molecules from their environment?
Background: The origin and function of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules on platelets are still highly arguable. Given the differences in the results of the previous studies in this regard, the lack of research in recent years, and the clinical importance of HLA class I molecules, the absorption capacity of platelets for soluble HLA class I molecules was studied in this investigat...
متن کاملThe surface markers and survival rate of platelets during storage at 4°C: The influence of sodium octanoate
Background: Storage of platelet concentrates (PCs) at room temperature (20-24°C) limits its storage time to 5 days due to the destructive effects of platelet storage lesion (PSL) and bacterial contamination. Although prolonged storage of platelets (PLTs) at 4°C reduces the likelihood of bacterial contamination and PSL levels, it is accompanied by an increase in the clearance rate and changes in...
متن کاملInduction of apoptosis in human tumor cell lines by platelets
Introduction: It has been reported that platelets can eradicate tumor cells in vitro, although the mechanism of this effect has not been determined. The effect of platelets on the induction of apoptosis in tumor cells is largely unknown. Materials and methods: To investigate this effect, two human hematologic cell lines, K562 and Daudi, were independently faced with unstimulated and thromb...
