Figure 1. Longer-stored RBCs had increased PS-exposure and decreased GSH.

Figure 1

(A) Flow cytometry plots of day 35 stored RBCs showing the gating strategy and PS-exposure detected by staining with FITC-labelled lactadherin. Log-scale light scatter plot (left) was used to set the RBC gate, which was then displayed on a fluorescence plot (right). 20,000 events were collected. (B) Frequency of PS+ RBCs during 35 days storage of SAGM RBCs (n = 9) and AS-1 RBCs (n = 7). (C) Concentration of RBC reduced glutathione (GSH) in SAGM RBCs (n = 9) and AS-1 RBCs (n = 7) after 3, 21 and 35 days of storage. SAGM RBCs (○), AS-1 RBCs (●) Significance defined as *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01.
