Elevated telomerase activity and minimal telomere loss in cord blood long-term cultures with extensive stem cell replication
20 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase activity, telomere length, stem/progenitor cell production, and function of CD34+ cells from cord blood (CB), bone marrow, and mobilized peripheral blood were evaluated in long-term cultures. CB cells were cultured either on OP-9 stromal cells transduced with an adenovector expressing thrombopoietin (TPO) or stimulated by a cytokine cocktail in the absence of stroma, with, in one method, CD34+ cells...
