<p>Leukocytes are advantageously separated from blood or other leukocyte-containing suspensions by causing the leukocyte-containing suspensions to flow through a filter unit comprising a container provided with inlet and outlet conduit means and with a mass of fibers packed therein. The mass of fibers is characterized as possessing a bulk density of from 0.02 to 0.40 gram/cubic centimeter, and each of the fibers is characterized as having an average diameter of from 3 to 10 microns. The fibers to be used are selected from synthetic fibers, semi-synthetic fibers, regenerated fibers and natural proteinaceous fibers.</p> |
