title: Blood kinetics and in vivo chemotaxis of transfused neutrophils: effect of colllection method, donor corticosteroid treatment, and short-term storage.
abstract: To evaluate effect of collection technique and short-term storage on in vivo cell function, neutrophils were collected from 53 normal subjects by phlebotomy (PB), intermittent flow centrifugation (IFC), or filtration leukopheresis (FL), stored 0 or 1 day, labeled with 32P-diisopropylfluorophosphate, reinfused into the donor, and blood kinetics and/or skin chamber accumulation of labeled cells measured. The blood kinetics of unstored PB and IFC cells were similar; the kinetics of unstored FL cells were markedly abnormal. The percent of infused neutrophils localizing to the skin chamber was 0.1, 0.06, and 0.006 for unstored PB, IFC, and FL cells, respectively. One-day storage substantially decreased chamber accumulation of infused neutrophils. Donor steroid pretreatment had no effect on chamber results. Thus, in vivo chemotactic ability of IFC neutrophils is slightly impaired, whereas that of FL cells is severely impaired. One-day storage of either cell concentrate causes further cell damage.
