Granulocyte Transfusions For Leukopenic Recipients

Granulocyte Transfusions For Leukopenic Recipients An approach to granulocyte transfusions using donors with myelocytic leukemia for leukopenic recipients was described at the Washington, DC, annual meeting of the American Association of Blood Banks. Edward E. Morse, MD, director of the blood bank at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, said donors with chronic myelocytic leukemia were used because plasmapheresis does not provide adequate numbers of granulocytes from normal donors. "The transfusion of normal granulocytes awaits the development of more efficient separation techniques and better immunological methods." Morse and coworkers William R. Bronson, MD, Robert H. Levin, MD, and Emil J. Freireich, MD, used 11 donors, ages 25 to 56 years. The white cells were obtained by plasmapheresis and the plasma with the red cells was returned to the donor. Using this method, as many as eight units could be processed per day from a single donor, Morse said. The white cells were transfused within four hours after http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA American Medical Association
