Methods ( 300 ), devices, and systems of processing blood are described. The method ( 300 ) comprises the steps of: obtaining ( 312 ) blood from a patient coupled to a single blood processing device to form a closed loop between the patient and the blood processing device; collecting ( 314 ) bulk mononuclear blood cells from the blood by leukapheresis implemented using the blood processing device in the closed loop; and enriching ( 316 ) concurrently target cells separated from non-target cells in the bulk mononuclear blood cells using the blood processing device in the closed loop. |
