Abstract excerpt
Some patients unexpectedly fail to mobilize sufficient numbers of haematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) into the peripheral blood for autologous transplantation. Considering the important role of the chemokine stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) in HPC homing, we investigated a possible relationship between SDF1 gene polymorphism and HPC mobilization capacity in 63 patients with malignancy. Some 67% of the...
