Red Cell Storage Studies.

Abstract

Two general areas concerning red cell storage are discussed. In the first general area, vitro measurements of red cell deformability as measured in the ektacytometer with in vivo survival of red cells and radioactive chromium-tagged red cells have been correlated. In the second area, the senescent cell antigen which is likely to be produced during cell storage has been characterized. There is preliminary evidence that this senescent cell antigen is antigenically-related to band 3 and that it may represent a proteolysis product of the external surface portion of this membrane protein.
