Abstract

A few bedside polyester white cell (WBC)-reduction filters have been shown to scavenge C3a anaphylatoxin from stored blood components. One has been shown to remove the chemokines interleukin (IL)-8 and RANTES, but not the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha. Removal by any filter of the anaphylatoxin C5a or the soluble membrane attack complex (SC5b-9) has not been studied. Further, the ability of other filters to scavenge these biologic response modifiers (BRM) is not known. Four WBC-reduction filters and one plasma filter were studied for their ability to remove IL-8, RANTES, IL-1 beta, C3a, C5a, and SC5b-9. Plasma was obtained either as freshly thawed fresh-frozen plasma, fresh-frozen plasma thawed and stored for 5 days, or platelet-poor supernatant. Cell-poor plasma was obtained and samples were taken before and after filtration through the various filters Levels of IL-1 beta, IL-8, RANTES, C3a, and SC5b9 were quantitated by enzyme immunoassay. To evaluate filter scavenging of C5a, an in vitro model was developed to generate high levels of C5a in plasma by activating plasma with zymosan. Levels of C3a, C5a, IL-8, and RANTES were reduced by filtration through two bedside platelet WBC-reductio...Continue Reading
