Regulated upon activation, normal T cells expressed and secreted (CCL5) in platelet concentrate: Role of mode of preparation and duration of storage

CONCLUSION: The concentration of RANTES increased continuously from 1 h to 5 days of storage in all PCs. After 65 h, BC-PC showed higher levels of RANTES compared to PRP-PC. Filtered PRP-PCs appear to be the best in terms of low RANTES to prevent allergic reactions and cultures negative.
