Longitudinal assessment of adhesion to vascular cell adhesion molecule‐1 at steady state and during vaso‐occlusive crises in sickle cell disease
1 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by frequent and unpredictable vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs). Sickle erythrocytes (SSRBCs) contribute to VOCs by participating in a series of adhesive events with blood cells and the vascular endothelium. Adhesion assays have been used to evaluate the relationship between SSRBC adhesion and SCD severity. We developed a standardized, clinical flow adhesion assay of whole...
