To assess alterations in coagulation proteins in stored platelet concentrates, we used a series of platelet parameters and measures of coagulation activation to compare samples collected before unit donation, during the processing of platelet concentrates (PC) from CPDA-1 blood, and in storage up to 5 days as well as stored platelet-poor plasma (PPP). Storage-dependent increases in activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time were seen in both PC and PPP. However, FVII, FXI, FXII, kallikrein activity and prothrombin F1.2 levels remained unchanged in stored PC. Surprisingly, in stored PPP, significant alterations in FXII, FVII, kallikrein and prothrombin F1.2 levels were seen. Platelet morphology and surface marker studies demonstrated platelet activation during storage. These data suggest that the presence of platelets in the CLX storage container partially suppresses coagulation activation at significant cost to platelet viability.

D001792 Blood Platelets Non-nucleated disk-shaped cells formed in the megakaryocyte and found in the blood of all mammals. They are mainly involved in blood coagulation. Platelets,Thrombocytes,Blood Platelet,Platelet,Platelet, Blood,Platelets, Blood,Thrombocyte
D001793 Blood Preservation The process by which blood or its components are kept viable outside of the organism from which they are derived (i.e., kept from decay by means of a chemical agent, cooling, or a fluid substitute that mimics the natural state within the organism). Blood Preservations,Preservation, Blood,Preservations, Blood
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D005453 Fluorescence The property of emitting radiation while being irradiated. The radiation emitted is usually of longer wavelength than that incident or absorbed, e.g., a substance can be irradiated with invisible radiation and emit visible light. X-ray fluorescence is used in diagnosis.
