Comparison of Neutrophil Function in Granulocyte Concentrates From Prednisone- and G-CSF-Treated Donors: Effect of Stimulant, Leukapheresis and Storage

Transfusion of granulocyte concentrates (GC) is an alternative therapy for neutropenic patients with life-threatening infections.While neutrophils are the main source of antimicrobial activity, only neutrophil numbers are used to certify GCs.The objective of this study was thus to functionally characterize neutrophils in GCs prepared Keys by leukap
