Donor platelets stored for at least 3 days can elicit activation marker expression by the recipient's blood mononuclear cells: an in vitro study
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have demonstrated that infused platelets (PLTs) can promote inflammation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of storage of transfusion‐grade PLTs on the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) of the recipient. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: An in vitro...

Summary: | BACKGROUND: Recent studies have demonstrated that infused platelets (PLTs) can promote inflammation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of storage of transfusion‐grade PLTs on the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) of the recipient.
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: An in vitro cell model system was established to measure the degree of activation of donor PLTs during 5 days of their storage and then to measure immune cell activation by detecting marker expression in coculture experiments.
RESULTS: The level of soluble CD62p increased significantly by Day 3, and membrane expression of CD62p increased significantly from Day 2, indicating some degree of PLT activation over time during storage (p |
