Optimal conditions for simultaneous purification of mononuclear and polymorphonuclear leucocytes from human blood by the Hypaque-Ficoll method

A Ferrante, YH Thong - Journal of immunological methods, 1980 - Elsevier
Data on the optimal conditions for the simultaneous purification of mononuclear (MN) and
polymorphonuclear (PMN) leucocytes from human blood on Hypaque-Ficoll medium of one
density is presented. The efficiency of separation of MN and PMN leucocytes by the
Hypaque-Ficoll method was dependent on both the Ficoll concentration and the density of
the medium. Best results were obtained with a medium consisting of a Ficoll concentration of
8.2% and a density of 1.114 g/ml. The separation procedure was much more efficient if …
