Abstract
In this work, we studied the effect of a carbon coating created on the surface of a polyvinyl chloride blood storage bags on protein adsorption, cell culture proliferation, and on whole blood leukocytes. Based on the results obtained, it can be assumed that the preservation of leukocytes is more effective in the blood storage bags treated by the ion-plasma method, in comparison with the untreated one. The adhesion of blood cells occurs on the carbon coating of the plasma-treated surface of the blood storage bags. This can be eliminated by preliminary application of proteins that prevent cell adhesion on the walls of the blood storage bags.
