Studies on low-dose hydroxyethyl starch leukapheresis. Rate of elimination of HES in vivo and function of the harvested granulocytes in vitro. 1984

We studied the rate of in vivo elimination of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) given during low dose HES leukapheresis in 9 donors and the effect of this procedure on the in vitro function of granulocytes in 3 donors. HES was eliminated more rapidly than has been previously reported for standard leukapheresis. Serum HES declined to one-half of peak concentration between 1 and 2 days and to one-tenth of peak in 23 days. No HES could be detected in serum 90 days after leukapheresis. The function of the harvested granulocytes was compared to that of granulocytes collected just prior to the procedure by measuring superoxide generation, ingestion and cell motility. There was no significant difference in the function of granulocytes harvested by low dose HES leukapheresis compared to those collected by venipuncture before the procedure.

D002465 Cell Movement The movement of cells from one location to another. Distinguish from CYTOKINESIS which is the process of dividing the CYTOPLASM of a cell. Cell Migration,Locomotion, Cell,Migration, Cell,Motility, Cell,Movement, Cell,Cell Locomotion,Cell Motility,Cell Movements,Movements, Cell
D002634 Chemotaxis, Leukocyte The movement of leukocytes in response to a chemical concentration gradient or to products formed in an immunologic reaction. Leukotaxis,Leukocyte Chemotaxis
D006098 Granulocytes Leukocytes with abundant granules in the cytoplasm. They are divided into three groups according to the staining properties of the granules: neutrophilic, eosinophilic, and basophilic. Mature granulocytes are the NEUTROPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and BASOPHILS. Granulocyte

D013213 Starch Any of a group of polysaccharides of the general formula (C6-H10-O5)n, composed of a long-chain polymer of glucose in the form of amylose and amylopectin. It is the chief storage form of energy reserve (carbohydrates) in plants. Amylomaize Starch,Amylum,Cornstarch,Keoflo,Starch, Amylomaize
D013481 Superoxides Highly reactive compounds produced when oxygen is reduced by a single electron. In biological systems, they may be generated during the normal catalytic function of a number of enzymes and during the oxidation of hemoglobin to METHEMOGLOBIN. In living organisms, SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE protects the cell from the deleterious effects of superoxides. Superoxide Radical,Superoxide,Superoxide Anion
