Figure 2.
The impact of delaying blood processing on samples (n = 10). Cells were prepared for cryopreservation at a cell density of 10 × 106 cells/mL. (a) Post-thaw viability and recovery of samples stored for up to 4 days prior to processing. (b) Post-incubation (overnight at 37 °C) viability and recovery of samples stored for up to 4 days prior to processing. Day 0 represents the day of collection. Each point represents the predicted mean with 95% CI. Letters (A, B, C) indicate groups (Tukey’s test), where predicted means that are not significantly different are labeled with the same letter. No significant differences between 4 °C and RT were found, therefore storage day means only are shown.
