Expression of the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR5 was monitored using EDTA-anticoagulated whole blood held for different time periods prior to fluorescent-antibody staining. When left overnight CXCR4 expression on leukocytes was substantially increased, whereas CCR5 expression was reduced. The results were similar when heparin and acid-citrate-dextrose were used as anticoagulants.
