Gram-negative sepsis treated with neutrophils collected exclusively by intermittent flow centrifugation leukapheresis. 1980

R G Strauss, and M M Goedken, and L C Maguire, and J A Koepke, and J S Thompson

The effectiveness of neutrophils prepared for transfusion by intermittent flow centrifugation leukapheresis (IFCL) as treatment for serious bacterial infections in neutropenic patients has not been documented in the literature. Their value, in fact, has been questioned. We report that IFCL neutrophils are similar to cells prepared by other techniques in the ability to support neutropenic patients with culture-proven, gram-negative sepsis unresponsive to antibiotics.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

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.
