Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is a well-established but lengthy and burdensome cell-based therapy for various diseases such as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, graft-versus-host disease and organ rejection after transplantation. The number of mononuclear cells (MNCs) that needs to be collected to obtain a clinical response to ECP is still under debate. The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the number of lymphocytes, monocytes and neutrophils in mononuclear cell products (MCP) by flow cytometry and the collection efficiency in the offline ECP setting.
