We have previously reported that RBCs of different storage biology cross-regulate each other when stored together (co-storage cross-regulation [CSCR]). However, the mechanism of CSCR is unclear.

Bio-B6 or Bio.FVB were stored with RBCs from B6 mice transgenic for green florescent protein (GFP) (B6.GFP). After storage, avidin-magnetic beads were used to simultaneous purify Bio-RBCs (positive selection) and B6.GFPs (negative selection).
