Normal chemotactic activity of granulocytes obtained by filtration leucapheresis.

چکیده
The chemotactic activity of granulocytes obtained by the Terumo Filtration Leucapheresis System (F.L.) was examined by the method of Boyden's chamber. The number of cells migrating through the Millipore filter was expressed as the chemotactic activity. The mean values were 117 for the F.L. and 122 in a control, in which cells were collected from the same donor blood using dextran sedimentation. The results suggested that the in vitro chemotactic function of granulocytes obtained by F.L. was within normal limits.

Effects of temperature on granulocyte preservation.
With the increasing use of granulocyte transfusion it is becoming important to determine if granulocytes can be preserved for a few days. If so, the optimum storage conditions must be identified. We studied the function in vitro of granulocytes collected as they would be for transfusion by continuous-flow centrifuge leukapheresis (CFCL) and filtration leukapheresis (FL). Granulocytes collected ...
متن کاملDegranulation and abnormal bactericidal function of granulocytes procured by reversible adhesion to nylon wool.
Granylocyte bactericidal capacity, chemotaxis, hexose monophosphate shung activity (before and after phagocytic stimulus), and quantitative nitroblue tetrazolium reduction and enzyme content were examined in cells obtained by filtration leukaphresis (FL) and continuous-flow centrifugation (CFC). A decrease in the bactericidal efficiency of FL-produced cells compared to that of both normal and C...

A profound defect in granulocyte chemotaxis was documented in an otherwise healthy 21-yr-old man who failed to localize granulocytes to an area of cellulitis during an allergic reaction to cephalothin. During the period of drug allergy, characterized by urticaria, eosinophilia, and profound hypocomplementemia, in vitro migration of the patient's granulocytes in the Boyden chamber was markedly i...
متن کاملPolymorphonuclear leukocytes prepared by continuous-flow filtration leukapheresis: viability and function.
Preparation of granulocytes for transfusion in high yield and relatively free of contamination by other cell types has been made possible by the technique of continuous-flow filtration Ieukaph.resis (CFFL). Since previous work suggested that granulocytes collected in this manner may have impaired viability and function, a detailed study of the bactericidal, metabolic, and chemotactic properties...

While granulocyte transfusions have been shown to be effective in the treatment of patients with infections, the effects of the leukapheresis collection procedure on certam granulocyte functions remain in question. We studied the bactericidal function of granulocytes collected by continuousflow centrifugation (CFC) and filtration Ieukapheresis (FL) with S. aureus, E. coil, and S. typhimurium. K...
