Assessment of donor T‐cell function in cellular blood components by the CD69 induction assay: effects of storage, γ radiation, and photochemical treatment

Abstract

Flow cytometric measurement of CD69 induction can be adapted to provide quantitative assessment of T-cell function in blood components. Results obtained by the CD69 assay are in general agreement with those previously reported by use of proliferation methods; the assay may be useful for special applications in transfusion medicine.
