Posttransfusion HOD RBC survival. To determine 24-hour posttransfusion survival, recipients were bled at 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours, and 24 hours posttransfusion, and the percentage of transfused HEL-positive RBCs circulating in the recipient was assessed by flow cytometry. (A) HEL expression in control FVB RBCs. (B) Representative plot of HEL-positive RBCs in a recipient after transfusion. (C) Representative plot of posttransfusion HEL-positive RBC survival (mean and SD), with three mice per group. (▲) 14-day-stored leukoreduced HOD; (●) fresh leukoreduced HOD.
