| Abstract: | The levels of ATP and total adenine nucleotides (ATP + ADP + AMP) were determined by firefly luciferase assay in red blood cells during storage for 5 weeks at 4 degrees C. With few exceptions, no significant differences in nucleotide levels were found between whole blood stored in CPD-adenine and various preparations of red blood cells in CPD-adenine or CPD with saline-adenine-glucose (SAG) as additive. The levels of ATP and total adenine nucleotides during storage are discussed in relation to glucose levels, extracellular pH and shelf life of the red blood cells. |
