Release of beta-thromboglobulin during the preparation, in vitro storage and cryopreservation of platelet concentrates. 1983

M A Taylor

Beta-thromboglobulin is a platelet specific protein which is released from platelets during the platelet release reaction. The amount of beta-thromboglobulin released during various conditions of in vitro storage, including cryopreservation, was compared. The results suggest the measurement of beta-thromboglobulin is unlikely to be of use as a quality control assay for monitoring the in vitro viability of stored platelets.

D001620 beta-Thromboglobulin A platelet-specific protein which is released when platelets aggregate. Elevated plasma levels have been reported after deep venous thrombosis, pre-eclampsia, myocardial infarction with mural thrombosis, and myeloproliferative disorders. Measurement of beta-thromboglobulin in biological fluids by radioimmunoassay is used for the diagnosis and assessment of progress of thromboembolic disorders. beta-2 Thromboglobulin,Thromboglobulin, beta-2,beta 2 Thromboglobulin,beta Thromboglobulin
D013696 Temperature The property of objects that determines the direction of heat flow when they are placed in direct thermal contact. The temperature is the energy of microscopic motions (vibrational and translational) of the particles of atoms. Temperatures
