Abstract
During the last years the mechanical withdrawal of white blood cells (WBC) by a continuous flow cellseparator (CFC) was shown to be an effective method to treat chronic leukemias, especially in certain situations (1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8). We want
to demonstrate our results obtained in 20 patients with CML and in 12 patients with CLL who underwent repeated leukapheresis using an AMINCO cellseparator.
