Platelet units are stored and complement factors are evaluated
Ten units of platelets will be selected from the regular inventory of the Central Blood Transfusion Services/Assiut University Hospitals . All units of platelets will be collected, processed, and tested following the standard procedures.
Thesis units will be stored on a platelet rotator with the temperature controlled between 22 and 24c. Samples will be obtained using a sterile technique .
The investigators will take basal sample and samples on day 2,3,4 and 5. Complement components will be assayed : C4 (classical pathway), C3 (common pathway) and C5 (terminal pathway).
This evaluation will be done using ELISA technique
