. 1,820 units of leukocyte‐ and platelet‐poor erythrocyte suspensions were prepared by filtration through cotton wool. On the average more than 98% of the leukocytes and 90–95% of the platelets could be removed. The red cell recovery was 96%. 97% of the units given to polytransfused patients did not cause febrile reactions. Serological follow‐up of future transplantation recipients indicated that immunization may be avoided by using erythrocyte suspensions of fresh, filtered blood.
