title: A procedure for parallel isolation of white blood cells, granulocyte and purified neutrophil suspensions from the peripheral blood of cattle.
abstract: A rapid method is described for parallel isolation of white blood cells, granulocytes and purified neutrophils from peripheral blood of normal cattle. The mean recovery (+/- S.D.) of white blood cells, granulocytes and purified neutrophils isolated from peripheral blood of 13 cows was 66.4 +/- 12.6%, 68.7 +/- 20.0% and 38.0 +/- 20.9%, respectively. The mean purity of the isolated granulocyte and neutrophil suspensions was 94.0 +/- 3.8% and 95.0 +/- 6.0%, respectively. Viability of isolated cells was more than 97%.
