Prestorage Leucofiltration of Red Blood Cell Suspensions Modulates Storage Time-Dependent Suppression of in vitro Cytokine Release

Abstract: Background: Leucocyte- and platelet-derived bioactive substances accumulated in blood preparations during procession and storage may play a role in side-effects, including immunosuppression, observed after transfusion. Leucodepletion by filtration may significantly reduce the amount of storage time-dependent accumulated substances. Therefore we studied the effect of pre-storage leucofiltration of red blood cell suspensions on stimulation of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) release … Show more

“…However, even though the reduction of leukocyte content in blood products by prestorage leukodepletion seems to be a reasonable approach to preventing TRIM, doubts have been raised against the universal implementation of leukocyte reduction. This is because immunomodulatory effects have been described even after transfusion of leukocyte-depleted blood [ 58 , 59 ]. So, it has been argued that the remaining immunomodulatory effect of blood transfusion, even after prestorage leukodepletion, could be mediated either by the few remaining leukocytes or by unidentified bioactive substances other than those present in leukocytes.…”
