Abstract

See full text

Methods for preserving platelets at temperatures of less than about 15.degree.C. with retention of hemostatic activity are provided. The method uses a first agent for inhibiting actin filament severing and a second agent for inhibiting actin polymerization. Contacting the platelets with the first and second agents prior to exposure to cold temperature prevents cold-induced platelet activation.
