The effect of refreezing previously frozen-deglycerolized red blood cells. 1978

R A Kahn, and M Auster, and W V Miller

Frozen red blood cells, once thawed and washed, must be used within 24 hours or discarded. In this study, three units of blood underwent two freeze-thaw cycles. It was shown that red blood cell survival, ATP, and 2,3-DPG were not adversely effected. The data suggest that previously frozen red blood cells should be refrozen, rather than discarded, if not used within 24 hours of deglycerolization.

D004163 Diphosphoglyceric Acids Glyceric acids where two of the hydroxyl groups have been replaced by phosphates. Bisphosphoglycerates,Acids, Diphosphoglyceric
D004905 Erythrocyte Aging The senescence of RED BLOOD CELLS. Lacking the organelles that make protein synthesis possible, the mature erythrocyte is incapable of self-repair, reproduction, and carrying out certain functions performed by other cells. This limits the average life span of an erythrocyte to 120 days. Erythrocyte Survival,Aging, Erythrocyte,Survival, Erythrocyte
