By means of a Haemonetics 30 blood cell separator white blood cells (WBC) were collected for transfusion purposes from 21 normal unstimulated donors. Citrated Hydroxyethyl Starch (HES) was used as anticoagulant. A mean yield of 1.13 x 10(10) WBC was obtained in 2 1/2-3 h. Half of the collected WBC were PMN cells containing a few per cent band forms, the other half lymphocytes and monocytes (12%). No shift in the distribution of WBC was found during the leucapheresis. Light and electron microscopy did not reveal any damage or changes in the structure of the processed granulocytes. The Trypan blue exclusion test showed 99% vital cells. In vitro assessment of the chemotactic and bactericidal activity of the collected granulocytes showed normal function. Also the content of myeloperoxidase was within normal range.

D009195 Peroxidase A hemeprotein from leukocytes. Deficiency of this enzyme leads to a hereditary disorder coupled with disseminated moniliasis. It catalyzes the conversion of a donor and peroxide to an oxidized donor and water. EC 1.11.1.7. Myeloperoxidase,Hemi-Myeloperoxidase,Hemi Myeloperoxidase
D010587 Phagocytosis The engulfing and degradation of microorganisms; other cells that are dead, dying, or pathogenic; and foreign particles by phagocytic cells (PHAGOCYTES). Phagocytoses
D010956 Plasmapheresis Procedure whereby plasma is separated and extracted from anticoagulated whole blood and the red cells retransfused to the donor. Plasmapheresis is also employed for therapeutic use.
