Sheep whole blood is washed to remove the platelet rich plasma, buffy coat layer, and leukocytes (WBC). Red blood cells are supplied as a 10 percent suspension in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). Sheep red blood cells are useful for the titration of complement, adsorption procedures, testing for agglutinins/HA assays, and for the preparation of stroma as particulate reagents. Sheep red blood cells are perishable and are collected and processed upon receipt of your order.
