Abstract
A method of collecting mononuclear cells includes separating plasma from cellular components of whole blood. The cellular components, which include mononuclear cells and red blood cells, are combined with plasma replacement fluid to form a first mixture. The mononuclear cells of the first mixture are separated from the red blood cells of the first mixture, which may be followed by extracorporeal photopheresis being performed on the mononuclear cells.
