Abstract excerpt
We examined whether ex vivo expansion of umbilical cord blood progenitor cells affected their capacity to generate immune cells such as T lymphocytes (TLs) and dendritic cells (DCs). The capacity to generate TLs from cord blood CD34(+) cells expanded for 14 days (d14) was compared with that of nonexpanded CD34(+) cells (d0) using fetal thymus organ cultures or transfer into nonobese diabetic/severe combined...
