[Treatment of patients wtih malignant lymphoma with freeze-dried cord blood]. / Zastosuvannia kriokonservovanoï kordovoï krovi pry likuvanni khvorykh na zloiakisnu limfomu.

It has been ascertained that in patients with malignant lymphomas, employment of cryopreserved cells of the cord blood (CB) is associated with a high efficiency of therapy of the underlying medical condition. With introduction of CB into the test-system of the donor's blood the T-lymphocytes radiosensitivity has been shown to be increased during the Go- and S-periods of the cell cycle, which fact should be taken account of in planning radiotherapy in oncological patients. A decrease in the level of aneuploid lymphocytes against the background of blast-transformation as a result of transfusion of CB may suggest normalization of the pool of lymphocytes.
