Adenine in blood preservation

Critical Reviews in Clinical Laboratory Sciences
C C PeckR B Bolin

Abstract

The recent Food and Drug Administration (U.S.) approval of a new blood preservative (CPDA-1) which contains adenine not only introduces a new blood product into the American blood banking system, but also heralds the advent of novel approaches to blood product preservation. The use of adenine to effect maintenance of red cell adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and hence to prolong storability, has a well-founded biochemical rationale. Effects of adenine on red cell metabolism are generally well understood, but effects on other blood components have not been fully delineated. The efficacy of adenine preservatives in enhancing the duration of red cell storage appears to outweigh the small risk of toxicity from free adenine. Clinical use of millions of units of adenine-preserved blood in Europe during more than a decade has resulted in only one report of possible adenine toxicity. Marginal acceptability of 24-hr 51Cr red cell recovery of packed red cells stored for 35 days in CPDA-1 has stimulated development and evaluation of an improved preservative (CPDA-2) which may extend blood storability beyond 35 days. A heightened awareness of the hematological consequences of prolonged storage has come with the extension of blood storage beyo...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
