The Red Blood Cell Laboratory provides comprehensive services in red cell biology and hemoglobin disorders, and combines the Hemoglobinopathy laboratory at Children’s Hospital & Research Center at Oakland (CHRCO) and the Red Cell Research Laboratory at Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI). Both laboratories are internationally recognized as a clinical resource for the diagnosis of hemoglobin and red cell disorders. These laboratories are an integral part of CHRCO's Comprehensive Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Centers and the Research Center for Sickle Cell Disease and Thalassemia at CHORI. We provide both clinical diagnostics and research laboratory assays. • Comprehensive services using state-of-the-art protein chemistry and molecular methods for the detection of hemoglobinopathies. • A large variety of hematology tests and measurements of red blood cell characteristics. • Diagnostic.

WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT. Unopette 1: 20 or 1:100 dilution. Whole blood is mixed with a weak acid solution to dilute the blood and hemolyze the red blood cells. Then loaded into a Hemacytometer and counted. Whole blood may be obtained from a venous EDTA sample or a free flowing capillary puncture and diluted 1:100 with a Unopette. Blood irrigates our whole body and therefore contains many types of cells that effect different tasks: red blood cells that carry oxygen, lymphocytes that fight infection by adaptive mechanisms (i.e. They find a tailor-made “cure”), leukocytes that constitute the innate response to infection (i.e. They display a universal “cure” and contribute to the healing process of wounds etc).

• A large variety of hematology tests and measurements of red blood cell characteristics. Wild About Words Vocabulary Handbook. • Diagnostic testing for cord blood repositories across the country and internationally. • Support for clinical and translational studies in hematology.

CLIA and CAP certified results of clinical diagnostics testing are released to referring health care professionals for use in diagnosis, counseling, and development of a treatment plan. Translational studies in hemoglobinopathies thrive on a partnership between a research laboratory and clinical staff. Ninja Saga Swf.

Our laboratory provides comprehensive support in planning, execution and evaluation of translational studies. A large variety of research laboratory assays are performed under best laboratory practices: we will develop and implement new assays as needed for research studies.

The executive directors of the laboratories, Carolyn Hoppe, MD and Frans Kuypers, PhD have a long standing record in hemoglobinopathy and red cell research. The laboratory managers Mahin Azimi, BS and Sandra Larkin, MS have extensive experience in providing laboratory services for clinical, translational and basic studies. In addition to the current routine measurements, we provide assays that are not on the list but have been established in the laboratory for specific clinical and translational studies.

One such recent example is shown as reported at the ASH meeting in December 2010 in Orlando Florida. To support a translational study in sickle cell patients to evaluate the efficacy of a new compound to blunt the interaction between blood cells and endothelial cells, we developed in 2010 a panel of new assays. One of them measured the interaction between monocytes and platelets. The figure indicates the results of this assay performed with samples collected from patients one and 24 hours after receiving a dose of this compound. The results indicate that interaction between platelets and macrophages was reduced due to the presence of the compound.
