We tested whether granulocytes, which contaminate PBMC isolates after prolonged blood storage at room temperature, are responsible for inhibited T cell function in aged blood. We extend previous observations by characterizing these contaminating granulocytes as CD11b+ CD15+ cells comparable to activated CD11b+ CD15+ granulocytes induced by incubation of blood with FMLP. Granulocyte contamination of PBMC was observed within 6-8 h after venipuncture and room temperature storage (2.

Background And Objective: Recently, we have shown, by using localized in vivo phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS) of the anterior left ventricular wall, that brain death (BD) is not associated with reduced myocardial energy status. In this study, we applied ex vivo 31P MRS of the entire heart to study the effects of BD on the energy status of the feline donor heart following explantation.
Methods: We used cats (6 BD and 6 controls [C]) in a 26-hour protocol.
