The blood pH range is between 7.35 and 7.45 for a healthy person. ▪ The most important electrolytes are: Cations: Na+, K+, Mg++ and Ca++; Anions: Cl−, HCO3−, HPO42− and SO42−. ▪ Whole blood has a
1i), suggesting that IMRCs can pass through small blood vessels and capillaries more easily, and are thus perhaps less likely to cause pulmonary embolism. To evaluate the clinical potential of the IMRCs, we measured the viability of IMRCs suspended in a published clinical injection buffer at ...
Compared to white blood cells, required to obatin DNA, red blood cells (RBC) may also be easier to obtain in large volumes. One milliliter of human adult blood contains approximately 150 mg Hb in RBC and 101–102μg DNA in white blood cells. Separation and storage of RBC for analyses ...
In the blood samples that were tested, one participant in cohort 1 (0.30 mg per kg every three weeks) was positive for anti-PEG antibodies at baseline. Antibody titres increased by at least fourfold in the predose sample for dose 3 (52 days after the first dose), then gradually dec...
Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMC) are widely used for drug screening [5–8], but the example of TGN 1412 has demonstrated that experimental conditions might lead to difficulties in interpretation and translatability of data [9]. Immunological reactions are very often modulated and fin...
Human beings have been recently reviewed as ‘metaorganisms’ as a result of a close symbiotic relationship with the intestinal microbiota. This

The development of “universal” RBCs applicable to the entire population has been slow [35]. A study by the French National Registry of People with a Rare Blood Phenotype/Genotype suggested that 15 iPSC lines are sufficient to manage nearly all alloimmunized patients [36]. Blood banks have ...
The smallest human chromosome contains ∼4.6 × 107 bp of DNA. This is equivalent to 1.4 cm of extended DNA. The human cell size varies significantly with the diameter ranging from 7.5 µm (red blood cell) to 150 µm (ovum). As such, DNA must be condensed to fit into the cell...
In what follows we use the term “plasma” to embrace all the protein components of the blood soluble phase (excluding cells) and not as a prescription for a specific sample processing technique. We could have referred instead to the “serum” proteome but chose plasma because it is in a ...
