Effects of centrifugation leukapheresis with hydroxyethyl starch on the complement system of granulocyte donors. 1981

B C McLeod, and R J Sassetti

In granulocyte donors during centrifugation leukapheresis (CL), total hemolytic complement, Clq, C3, factor B, and properdin decreased, but only to the extent expected from hemodilution. Crossed immunoelectrophoresis showed no C3 conversion in plasma obtained from the leukapheresis appeared during CL or in donor plasma immediately after CL. When serum was incubated with hydroxyethyl starch, total hemolytic complement did not decrease and C3 conversion was not detected by crossed immunoelectrophoresis. This investigation revealed no evidence that complement activation is associated with CL.

D002498 Centrifugation Process of using a rotating machine to generate centrifugal force to separate substances of different densities, remove moisture, or simulate gravitational effects. It employs a large motor-driven apparatus with a long arm, at the end of which human and animal subjects, biological specimens, or equipment can be revolved and rotated at various speeds to study gravitational effects.
