Résumé

Under present blood bank storage conditions at 22 °C, the viability and function of human platelets can be maintained for only 5 days, precluding use in many clinical contexts. Optimal techniques for platelet preservation studied by the authors were: use of cryoprotective agents (DMSO, ethylene glycol and propylene glycol) during storage at 22 and 8 °C. DMSO proved to be the optimal cryoprotectant. Future studies will focus on: optimal protocols for cryopreservation of human platelets, and identification of suitable calcium chelators and cytoskeleton stabilizers designed to prevent activation and preserve viability and function.
