The application of CD34-immunoaffinity column in the isolation and expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells of cord blood / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the effect of CD34 immunoaffinity column on the isolation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells of cord blood and the proliferatory and expansion characteristics of CD34 + cells in vitro.Methods:CD34 +cells were isolated from cord blood using CD34 immunoaffinity column.Cell surface antigens were analysed by FACS.The separated and un separated cells were cultured with human hematopoietic growth factors(HGFS)in liquid culture system and CFU GEMM culture system.Results:CD34 + cells were enriched with a purity of 49.62%?17.69% and a recovery of 54.38%?11.91% using the immunoaffinity column.The separated CD34 +cells and cord blood MNC expanded to 561.00 folds and 44.44 folds respectively after cultured with HGFS for 20 days.The percentages of CD34 + cells in separated group and control were 53.38% and 7.91% respectively after cultured for 12 days.The number of CFU GEMM in separated group was significantly higher than that in control(P
