Grant Proposal Information
Of Squirrels and Men: A Story of
Platelet Storage
Platelets are routinely used in
transfusions, yet they cannot be stored in
a refrigerator or else they will be cleared
rapidly when re-injected into a patient.
The objective of this experiment is to see
if platelets from ground squirrels are
resistant to cold storage, and thus could
serve as a model to develop methods to
store human platelets in the cold. To test
Please enter your proposal abstract:
this we will fluorescently label platelets
from humans and ground squirrels, store
them at 4°C and 37°C for up to 48 hours,
and measure their uptake by cultured
human liver cells. Previous research has
shown that human platelets stored at 4°C
are rapidly taken up, and we predict that
ground squirrel platelets stored at 4°C
will be resistant to this cold storage.
