Abstract excerpt
Thrombocytopenia is a problematic and potentially fatal occurrence after transplantation of cord blood stem cells. This problem may be alleviated by infusion of megakaryocyte progenitor cells. Here, we compared the ability of hematopoietic progenitor cells obtained from cord blood and expanded in culture to that of mobilized peripheral blood cells. The CD34(+) cells were plated for 10 days in presence of...
