Use of dextran 75 as a macromolecular agent in centrifugal leukapheresis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Screening of blood donations for antibodies against hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) is an accepted method to prevent some transfusion-transmitted hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections. However, anti-HBc testing may result in donor loss due to unspecific results in the currently available anti-HBc tests. Alg...
