A leukocyte concentrate prepared from preserved blood was successfully used to increase the white cell count in a majority of 47 patients suffering from leukopenia as a result of large doses of radiation received during cancer irradiation treatments. One to nine transfusions in intervals of 2 to 4 days with a transfer of one to five billion leuko cytes were required depending on the response of the individual. The treatment was ineffective in patients with bone cancers that impaired the hematopoietic function of the bone marrow. However, in a significant number of cases, a permanent increase in the number of leukocytes was obtained along with an improvement in the general state of health of the patient. The possibility of preparing the leukocyte concentrate from preserved blood makes the method available for general use. (TTT)
