TY - JOUR T1 - Long-term storage of blood in liquid nitrogen, and the response of the recovered red cells to haemagglutination by viruses. JF - Journal of Clinical Pathology JO - J Clin Pathol SP - 8 LP - 10 DO - 10.1136/jcp.33.1.8 VL - 33 IS - 1 AU - F G Rodgers Y1 - 1980/01/01 UR - http://jcp.bmj.com/content/33/1/8.abstract N2 - Human and chicken blood were snap-frozen as droplets in liquid ntirogen. Storage in the vapour phase liquid nitrogen container for nine months followed by rapid thawing resulted in approximately 10% haemolysis of the red cells. The ability of the thawed red cells to haemagglutinate viruses was unimpaired by the manipulations. ER -
