Summary

Complement factors activate during whole blood storage, increasing significantly over 28 days. Proteinase inhibitors did not prevent this activation, suggesting potential clinical implications for transfusions.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Hematology

Context:

  • Stored whole blood can undergo complement cascade activation.
  • CPD-Al stabilization is a common method for whole blood preservation.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the activation of complement factors C3a-desArg, C4a-desArg, and C42C3-activator complex during whole blood storage.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of proteinase inhibitors (aprotinin and eglin) in preventing complement activation in stored whole blood.

Summary:

  • Complement factors C3a-desArg and C4a-desArg showed significant increases during 28 days of whole blood storage.
  • C42C3-activator complex levels increased moderately.
  • Proteinase inhibitors aprotinin and eglin failed to inhibit the observed complement factor activation.

Impact:

  • Elevated C3a-desArg levels during storage may have clinical relevance, particularly in massive transfusions.
  • C3a-desArg can enhance platelet activation, potentially influencing transfusion outcomes.
