Background: Previous studies of transfusions of newly formed red cells (neocytes) demonstrated modest extensions of transfusion interval in patients with homozygous beta-thalassemia.Study Design and Methods: The clinical benefits of a new system of neocyte preparation (Neocel, Cutter Biological, Berkeley, CA), reported to combine ease of preparation with reduction in the transfusion requirements of thalassemia patients, were evaluated. Sixteen thalassemic patients who had undergone splenectomy received eight consecutive, standard, automated, washed red cell transfusions (standard transfusions), followed by eight transfusions with the neocyte preparation (neocyte transfusions). In each arm of the study, mean pretransfusion hemoglobin and mean red cell mass transfused were carefully controlled and were similar.Results: A significant (p
