Cells, cell debris, lipids, and clotted material are first removed, typically by filtration with a 0.45 m filter.
After the removal of cell debris by white blood cells, a fluid filled space is left.
Microscopically, the cystic space contains necrotic cell debris and macrophages filled with phagocytosed material.
The solid-liquid is separated by centrifugation or filtration and cell debris are discarded.
Particles such as whole cells or cell debris, which would clog a packed bed column, readily pass through a fluidized bed.
Monocytes eventually leave the bloodstream to become tissue macrophages, which remove dead cell debris as well as attacking microorganisms.
The result is a build-up of dead tissue and cell debris at, or near, the site of the cell death.
They can move freely, and capture cell debris, foreign particles, or invading microorganisms.
Active microglia also perform critical homeostatic activity, including the clearing of cell debris through phagocytosis, a function essential to neuron survival.
Homogenates were centrifuged at 1,000 x g for 10 minutes to pellet cell debris and nuclei.
