## Abstract Methoxypolyethylene glycol (mPEG) covalently bound to the surface of human red blood cells (hRBCs) has been shown to decrease immunological recognition of hRBC surface antigens (Bradley et al., 2002). However, there is an increasing shortage of hRBC donations, thus making hRBCs scarce a

Although calreticulin (Crt) is primarily localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), our results using biotinylation and immunocytochemical methods indicate that a small but significant amount of Crt is present and forms large patches on the surface of NG108-15 cells (a mouse neuroblastoma-rat glio
A simple method to coat human red blood cells (RBC) with PEG is described. Using a reactive derivative, monomethoxy-PEG (mPEG) was covalently attached to the surface of RBC in aqueous media under mild conditions. The PEG coating dramatically reduced aggregation and low shear viscosity of RBC resuspe

A recent article by Neumann et al.,l deals with the deposition of pig platelets upon various collector surfaces. These authors performed the experiments for durations of up to 3 h and observed that the deposition saturated at a fractional coverage on each surface at about 11/2 h from the start. Neum
