  • Title: [Peripheral blood stem cell transplantation--practices of mobilization and harvest].
    Author: Sugio Y, Tokunaga Y, Nomura A, Inaba S.
    Journal: Rinsho Byori; 1999 May; Suppl 110():63-9. PubMed ID: 10475033.
    Abstract:
    Recently, mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) are increasingly used as an alternative to bone marrow for engrafting procedures. Chemotherapy followed by recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) or rhG-CSF alone are the most commonly used PBSC mobilization schedules. Current timing of apheresis has now been yet decided on time by flowcytometric analysis of CD34 positivity of peripheral blood whole white cell count. Because apheresis procedure has been established quite well, PBSC harvest procedure becomes fast, safe and stable.
