Removal of exogenous (spiked) and endogenous prion infectivity from red cells with a new prototype of leukoreduction filter.

Abstract

Sowemimo-Coker S, Kascsak R, Kim A, Andrade F, Pesci S, Kascsak R, Meeker C, Carp R, Brown P. Removal of exogenous (spiked) and endogenous prion infectivity from red cells with a new prototype of leukoreduction filter. Transfusion 2005; 45 (12): 1839-44. The authors regret the error on page 1842, column 1. The correction is printed below in bold. WBC concentrations in 13 units of pre- and postfiltration RBCs were 2.23 × 109 ± 1.01 × 109 and 1.59 × 104 ± 0.59 × 104.
