We present results from an analysis of all data taken by the BICEP2, Keck Array, and BICEP3 CMB polarization experiments up to and including the 2018 observing season. We add additional Keck Array observations at 220 GHz and BICEP3 observations at 95 GHz to the previous 95/150/220 GHz dataset. The Q/U maps now reach depths of 2.

- Pathogen inactivation (PI) is a method aimed at enhancing blood safety, but may lead to extra costs; this study investigates ways to eliminate certain expenses associated with current testing and procedures.
- Data were gathered from five institutions to assess potential cost savings from reduced testing requirements, decreased transfusion reactions, and improved inventory management, estimating a total potential savings of $141.65 per platelet unit.
- Although adopting PI will incur new costs, particularly with licensing for 7-day storage, it could also result in significant cost reductions and additional benefits such as expanded donor retention and scheduling flexibility.
Anti-Ge2 may be immune or naturally occurring, and it reacts with an antigen on glycophorin D. Ge2 is encoded by a gene, GYPC, which is located on the long arm of chromosome 2. Anti-Ge2 is usually an immunoblobulin G (IgG) antibody.
