Evaluation of Dried Storage of Platelets and RBC for Transfusion: Lyophilization and Other Dehydration Techniques
Abstract
At the present time, the focus of research activity is on the in vivo animal model studies testing the participation of labelled lyophilized platelets in generation of experimentally-induced thrombi and testing of their circulatory lifespan. These studies require a considerable amount of preparation and analysis in order to establish significance of data among the natural variability of live systems. However, the preliminary reports from the investigators at UNC-Chapel Hill have been very encouraging. An informal invention disclosure statement has been filed with the UNC-Chapel Hill patent committee in cooperation with similar office at ECU. After these administrative councils have evaluated the suitability of a patent application on the research products produced to-date, an official notice of support or release of rights will be forwarded to the ONR for consideration of appropriateness.
