Abstract
⺠We evaluated the effect of pre-analytical variables on PrPC detection in blood. ⺠Citrate anticoagulation of blood results in a lower detection of PrPC on monocytes. ⺠The storage of blood leads to a decrease of PrPC detection on most leukocytes. ⺠Platelet satellitism affects PrPC levels detected on many leukocyte populations. ⺠Flow cytometry detection of PrPC is sensitive to storage-generated artifacts.
