تاثیر فیلتراسیون پیش از ذخیره کردن بر فعال شدن پلاکت‌ها در فراورده‌های پلاکتی

 Preparation conditions and platelet storage for transfusion may cause platelet activation, which contributes to decreased ability of stored platelet to function and survive in vivo after transfusion compared with that seen with freshly prepared platelets. Using flowcytometry, we investigated platelet membrane expression of CD62P, CD63 in platelet stored for up to 3 days under standard blood ba...
