Abstract:
The deformability changes of erythrocytes stored at different temperatures were characterized by a filtration procedure. The filterability index (FI) of erythrocytes cryopreserved at either -196 degrees C or -28 degrees C increased (deformability decreased) by about 9% and 40% respectively. For comparison with the cryopreserves the filterability of erythrocytes stored in liquid state at +4 degrees C were investigated. The filterability changes are discussed in comparison with the changes of MCHC during storage.
