Hypoxanthine negatively correlates with post-trasfusion recovery of using mouse and human red blood cells. (A) Hypoxanthine accumulation is observed in stored C57BL/6J mouse RBC. (B) Transfusion into GFP-RBC mouse recipients (sorting of fluorescence negative RBC) or 51Cr labeling of human RBC was performed to determine 24 h PTR in mice (n=79) and human volunteers (n=52), whereas paired samples were used to determine hypoxanthine levels. (C, D) Negative correlations were observed for mouse (C) and human RBC hypoxanthine levels and 24 h PTR. Linear and quadratic Spearman correlations as well as their levels of significance are shown for mouse (median across strains) and (D) human data.
