- The Chapel Hill Herald Tuesday, July 21, 1992 on page 3 contains an
- article outlining the need for white blooc cell donations in North
- Carolina.
-
- Pheresis is the process used to collect white blood cells. "Last year
- regional physiciams made nearly 21000 requests for pheresis blood donations,
- in which whity cells, or platelets, are separated from red blood cells. This
- year requests will top 40,000."
-
- "Pheresis donations are used by patients with leukemia, sickle cell and aplastic
- anemia and other conditions. Matching a pheresis donor with a patient involves
- more that determining the blood type. A pheresis donor's HLA (Human Leukocyte
- Antigen), or blood tissue type, is first determined, Then, the HLA is listed
- with the Red Cross as one of 10,000 HLA types which may be needed, Red Cross
- Officials said."
