Abstract:
Unpredictable adverse results can ensue from blood transfusion therapies because of the donation of cells from a very large number of anonymous volunteers. There is little doubt that transfusable blood cells produced on a large scale in vitro would be candidate materials to replace cells donated from such a large group of anonymous individuals. The recent progress of technology for in vitro production of transfusable red blood cells is reviewed.
