Marrow from seven normal donors and patients has been layered onto Ficoll-Metrizoate (FM) under pressure in the IBM 2991 blood cell processor to isolate the mononuclear cell (MNC) population prior to allogeneic transplantation or cryopreservation. This separation method, which takes less than 90 min, is a further development since our previous report detailing the use of the IBM 2991 to produce a concentrated marrow 'buffy coat' for infusion (Gilmore & Prentice, 1981). By adding FM to the system, marrow stem cells are further concentrated in a small volume with removal of unwanted granulocytes and red blood cells. This facilitates in in vitro treatment of marrow with monoclonal antibodies (Granger et al. 1982) or drugs, for either the selective elimination of malignant cells prior to autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMT), or T lymphocytes in an attempt to prevent graft versus host disease (GvHD) in allogeneic BMT. Five of the seven marrows processed by this procedure have thus far been infused into lethally irradiated recipients with engraftment (allogeneic); the other two marrows have been cryopreserved.
