| Abstract: | A simple method for the preservation of red blood cells in liquid nitrogensuitable for routine laboratory use is described. With this method, erythrocyteantigens retain their integrity for at least six months and, after thawing, remainactive for at least two weeks in Alsever’s Solution. A panel of cells preservedin liquid nitrogen is as satisfactory as fresh cells in defining irregular antibodies encountered in patient sera. The advantages of this technic over othermethods of red blood cell preservation is discussed. Submitted on April 9, 1962 Accepted on April 27, 1962 |
