Maintenance rituximab for relapsing thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: a case report.

abstract：:A procedure is described for the large-scale production of pure suspensions of human lymphocytes and granulocytes. Platelet-poor buffy-coats, obtained by centrifugation of six units of ABO-compatible ACD blood, were pooled and centrifuged again, resulting in a crude leukocyte concentrate containing approximately 60 pe...
