From: VACUTAINER® CPT™ and Ficoll density gradient separation perform equivalently in maintaining the quality and function of PBMC from HIV seropositive blood samples

Figure 3

Generally equivalent PBMC yields are obtained regardless of processing method and no significant differences are seen in cryopreserved PBMC recovery. The number (cells/ml) of viable "fresh" PBMC recovered after processing are depicted in graph A. Graph B depicts the percentage of thawed, viable PBMC recovered from the number originally frozen down. In these two graphs, each filled circle represents an individual donor and each donor is represented by the same color for each of the conditions tested. The "+" represents the median of all the donors in the category. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to determine significance.
