Procedure for the evaluation of the phagocytosis of erythrocytes in vitro, application to control the quality of preserved erythrocytes macrophages.

摘要

The invention relates to a method for evaluating phagocytosis IN VITRO erythrocytes macrophages in culture comprising the fluorescent LABELING erythrocytes PUTTING THEM INTO CONTACT WITH A macrophage culture and measuring fluorescence Macrophages DUE TO PHAGOCYTOSIS by cytofluorimetry in flux. IN PARTICULAR, applying the method to erythrocytes has established a correlation between the degree of phagocytosis and AGING erythrocytes and thus apply this assessment at SYSTEMATIC CONTROL OF THE QUALITY OF RED BLOOD CELLS INTENDED FOR BLOOD TRANSFUSION AND MONITORING IMPROVING storage conditions.
