Predictors of Mortality in Trauma patients Receiving massive Transfusion Protocol.

Introduction: Massive transfusion protocol (MTP) is often defined as the transfusion of ≥10 units of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) in 24 hours. The purpose of this study is to determine which factors most significantly contribute to mortality in patients receiving MTP after trauma.

Methods: An initial database search followed by retrospective chart review was performed on patients treated at four trauma centers in Southern California.

A KDEL-tagged monoclonal antibody is efficiently retained in the endoplasmic reticulum in leaves, but is both partially secreted and sorted to protein storage vacuoles in seeds.

Transgenic plants are attractive biological systems for the large-scale production of pharmaceutical proteins. In particular, seeds offer special advantages, such as ease of handling and long-term stable storage. Nevertheless, most of the studies of the expression of antibodies in plants have been performed in leaves.
