Major role of IgM in the neutralizing activity of convalescent plasma against SARS-CoV-2

TL;DR: It is found that depletion of immunoglobulin M was associated with the most substantial loss of virus neutralization, followed by immunoglOBulin G, which may help design efficient antibody-based COVID-19 therapies and may also explain the increased susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 of autoimmune patients receiving therapies that impair the production of IgM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a flow standard to enable highly reproducible measurements of deformability of stored red blood cells in a microfluidic device

TL;DR: A new method to standardize and improve reproducibility of the RBC deformability measurements using one of a number of microfluidic devices with capillary‐like microchannels is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimization of cord blood unit sterility testing: impact of dilution, analysis delay, and inhibitory substances

TL;DR: This work has compared the method used to prepare samples for sterility testing by diluting the final product in RPMI‐1640 medium with different approaches to verify whether optimization should be sought.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison and Efficacy of Breast Pump Cleaning Techniques for Bioburden Reduction.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the efficacy of cleaning and disinfecting breast pumps using either a microwave or boiling water and found that using boiling water was more effective than using cold water.
