Storage of single-donor platelets is currently limited to 5 days. During this period, however, numerous morphologic and biochemical changes have been observed. The present study describes increased binding of anti-GMP 140 to stored single-donor platelet concentrates; this reveals a progressive activation process. In contrast, when stored platelets are stimulated with ADP, GMP 140, expression is reduced indicating a diminished release reaction. Additionally, the GP IIb/IIIa receptor complex and its fibrinogen-induced binding site (LIBS1) are reduced by storage time, demonstrating a diminished fibrinogen binding. Further experiments have to clarify whether these changes observed in vitro translate into a reduced hemostatic capacity after transfusion in vivo.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010974 Platelet Aggregation The attachment of PLATELETS to one another. This clumping together can be induced by a number of agents (e.g., THROMBIN; COLLAGEN) and is part of the mechanism leading to the formation of a THROMBUS. Aggregation, Platelet
D010983 Plateletpheresis The preparation of platelet concentrates with the return of red cells and platelet-poor plasma to the donor. Blood Plateletpheresis,Thrombocytapheresis,Thrombocytopheresis,Blood Plateletphereses,Plateletphereses,Plateletphereses, Blood,Plateletpheresis, Blood,Thrombocytaphereses,Thrombocytophereses
D011786 Quality Control A system for verifying and maintaining a desired level of quality in a product or process by careful planning, use of proper equipment, continued inspection, and corrective action as required. (Random House Unabridged Dictionary, 2d ed) Control, Quality,Controls, Quality,Quality Controls
D001782 Blood Donors Individuals supplying blood or blood components for transfer to histocompatible recipients. Blood Donor,Donor, Blood,Donors, Blood
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
D005340 Fibrinogen Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.

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.
