  • Therapeutic platelets and methods
    Publication number: 20060223050
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for loading a preservative into blood platelets comprising providing a preservative solution having a preservative, water and protein, and loading blood platelets with the preservative solution to produce preservative-loaded blood platelets having the preservative solution generally including higher glass transition temperatures than glass transition temperatures for a preservative solution having the preservative, water and no protein. A process for processing blood platelets comprising suspending blood platelets in a preservative solution at a concentration greater than about 108 platelets per ml. of preservative solution to produce preservative-loaded blood platelets, freeze-drying the preservative-loaded blood platelets, and recovering at least 75% of the freeze died platelets.
    Type: Application

  • Method and therapeutic platelets
    Publication number: 20040191903
    Abstract: A method for loading a preservative into a biological sample comprising providing a preservative solution having a preservative, water and protein, and loading a biological sample with the preservative solution to produce a preservative-loaded biological sample having the preservative solution generally including higher glass transition temperatures than glass transition temperatures for a preservative solution having the preservative, water and no protein. A process for processing biological samples comprising suspending biological samples in a preservative solution at a concentration greater than about 108 platelets per ml. of preservative solution to produce preservative-loaded biological samples, freeze-drying the preservative-loaded biological samples, and recovering at least 75% of the freeze-dried biological samples.

  • Method and therapeutic platelets
    Publication number: 20040152964
    Abstract: A process for preparing a dehydrated biological sample comprising providing a biological sample selected from a mammalian species, loading with a solute the biological sample having an alcohol by fluid phase endocytosis to produce an internally loaded biological sample, and drying the loaded biological sample to produce a dehydrated biological sample.
