PURPOSE: To provide a method for removing an erythrocyte, capable of separating an erythrocyte simply at a low cost in a short time without using a centrifugal separator. CONSTITUTION: This method for removing an erythrocyte comprises passing a cell population containing an erythrocyte and a hematopoietic stem cell and/or a hematopoietic precursor cell through a filter substantially permeating an erythrocyte and catching a leukocyte and causing a liquid flow in the direction opposite to the flow of the cell population to recover the caught leukocyte. In the method, a method for using a filter substantially permeating a blood platelet is applied. Consequently, an erythrocyte can be removed simply at a low cost in a short time and efficiently without using a centrifugal separator or a specific reagent and a blood platelet to cause disorder in cell separation can be removed. |
