Hi Ruth,
I think the new facts in the article is that "Gamma irradiation was applied to the sample blood units on day 0, 7, 14, 21 or 28. This resulted, the authors state, in an immediate and drastic and permanent (for the remainder of the storage period) loss of RBC deformability. However, gamma irradiation had no effect on aggregability or adherence." We should try to get blood that hasnĀ“t been stored several weeks and that has been gamma irradiated.
Kind regards
Birgitta
