Reactive Oxygen Species Generated by CD45-Cells Distinct from Leukocyte Population in Platelet Concentrates Is Correlated with the Expression and Release of Platelet Activation Markers during Storage

Platelet stimulation with agonists is accompanied by the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which promotes further platelet activation and aggregation. Considering different cell populations in platelet concentrates (PCs), this study investigates the correlation of ROS generation with the expression and release of platelet activation markers during storage
