The morphology and viability of blood components processed by high-gradient magnetic separation. 1985

F Paul, and D Melville, and S Roath

The effect of high-gradient magnetic separation on blood components has been investigated. For erythrocytes there is no significant change in the morphology, size distribution and in the in-vivo survival times at the confidence level P = 0.05. For neutrophils stimulated nitro-blue tetrazolium reduction is maintained after HGMS. No change in chemotaxis and yeast cell phagocytosis was observed. Platelet distribution curves show no detectable changes before and after filtration. It is concluded that blood separated by HGMS is suitable for diagnostic analysis and may be considered for return to the patient.

D008280 Magnetics The study of MAGNETIC PHENOMENA. Magnetic
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D009580 Nitroblue Tetrazolium Colorless to yellow dye that is reducible to blue or black formazan crystals by certain cells; formerly used to distinguish between nonbacterial and bacterial diseases, the latter causing neutrophils to reduce the dye; used to confirm diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease.

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010587 Phagocytosis The engulfing and degradation of microorganisms; other cells that are dead, dying, or pathogenic; and foreign particles by phagocytic cells (PHAGOCYTES). Phagocytoses
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.
