Autologous blood from each pig was obtained and mixed with 25,000 units of heparin (LEO® pharma, Ballerup, Denmark). Whole blood was depleted of leukocytes using a leukocyte filter (BioR 02 plus BS PF, Fresenius Kabi, Zeist, the Netherlands) after which a red blood cells (RBC) concentrate was obtained by centrifuging, removing supernatant plasma, washing with phosphate‐buffered saline, centrifuging again, and separating the pure RBCs.
