TL;DR: The aim of this review article is to discuss the development of leukocyte filters, the various mechanisms ofLeukocyte filtration, and mathematical models to describe the process of Leukocytes in blood components.

A method for the removal of leukocytes from a leukocyte-containing suspension and filter unit for use with the method
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for removing leukocytes from a leukocyte-containing suspension was proposed, whereby a continuous porous structure or a combination of porous structures was used having a pore gradient with decreasing pore size in the direction of the flow of the suspension.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro leucocyte adhesion to modified polyurethane surfaces. I. Effect of ionizable functional groups
TL;DR: The modification procedures described may be used to improve polyurethane filters for the removal of leucocytes from blood by improving the adhesion of granulocytes and lymphocytes to surfaces modified with amine groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric membrane filters for the removal of leukocytes from blood
TL;DR: From cell analysis of both filtrate and filter, it is concluded that adhesion rather than sieving is the major filtration mechanism, and further optimization of the filter may be achieved by surface modification.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro leukocyte adhesion to modified polyurethane surfaces: II. Effect of wettability
Anton Bruil,Laura M. Brenneisen,J.G.A. Terlingen,Tom Beugeling,Willem G. van Aken,Jan Feijen +5 more
TL;DR: The number of adherent cells which could be predicted from the relationship between leukocyte adhesion and the wettability of the substrates within the series of homologous surfaces corresponded with the number of adherence cells to control surfaces (untreated polyurethane and Teflon).
