In vitro studies of polymorphs exposed to cellulose and polysulfone membranes showed severe impairment in randommobility with the cellulose membrane. In vivo studies with the two membranes showed that profound leukopenia occurred only when cellulose membrane was used. It is suggested that random mobility may have importance in the regulation of peripheral polymorph levels.
