Adhesion of RBCs stored in SAGM or AS-1 additive solutions to ECs under continuous flow conditions. RBCs were perfused across ECs at a shear stress of 0.5 dyne/cm2 (A). Strength of adhesion of RBCs to ECs was determined by increasing the shear stress to 3 dyne/cm2 and the number of remaining adherent RBCs was scored (B). SAGM (closed symbol); AS-1 (open symbol). * Significant difference (p < 0.04) between SAGM RBCs and AS-1 RBCs, by paired t-test. # Significant change (p < 0.002) across storage period, by RM-ANOVA. Results are mean ± standard error of the mean (n = 6 pairs).
