## Introduction: The storage of Single Donor Platelets (SDP) for 8 days with retention of in vivo function would permit a significant improvement in blood component utilization patterns and a likely decrease in SDP outdating. Methods: A paired randomized study of normal volunteer subjects (n=10) a

we performed two consecutive, prospective trials studying corticosteroids and cyclosporine (CSA) as adjuncts to plasma exchange (PE). Methods: Concurrent Corticosteroids and PE: Prednisone (1 mg/kg/d) was given concurrent with PE and continued until remission was achieved. Remission was defined as a
Background: Bacterial sepsis after apheresis platelet transfusion is still reported with approximately 1 in 109,000 distributed components, despite current preventive measures. Bacteria commonly found on healthy skin that escape detection with culture-based quality control tests are most often impli
blocked by preincubation with normal human or mouse plasma, but much less so by plasma from TTP patients or ADAMTS13 knockout mice. We further demonstrated that we can completely inhibit mouse ADAMTS13 by injecting group I antibodies into the internal jugular vein of mice. Conclusions: Our results s
Introduction: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a clinical syndrome characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia, which has a low mortality if treated with therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE). One aim of our current study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of p
