Abstract:
This report describes the utility of sodium pyruvate for markedly decreasing the spontaneous release of chromium-51 from RBC in long term chromium release assays. This method can be used to increase the sensitivity and duration of cytotoxicity assays which use chromium-51-labeled RBC as targets.
