Abstract

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) have traditionally been frozen using the cryoprotectant DMSO in dextran-40, saline or albumin. However, the process of freezing and thawing results in loss of HSC numbers and/or function. This study investigated the use of CryoStor for the freezing of HSC from cord blood (CB). CB donations (n = 30) were collected under an Institutional Ethics Committee-approved protocol, volume reduced and frozen using three different methods of cryoprotection. Aliquots were frozen with either 10% DMSO in dextran-40, 10% DMSO in CryoStor or 5% DMSO in CryoStor. Prior to freezing samples were separated for nucleated cell (NC) and CD34+ counts and assessment of CD34+ viability. Aliquots were frozen and kept in vapor phase nitrogen for a minimum of 72 h. Vials were rapidly thawed at 37 degrees C and tested for NC and CD34+ counts and CD34+ viability and colony-forming unit (CFU) assay. Cells frozen with CryoStor in 10% DMSO had significantly improved NC (P < 0.001), CD34+ recovery, viable CD34+ (P < 0.001) and CFU numbers (P < 0.001) compared with dextran in 10% DMSO. CryoStor in 5% DMSO resulted in significantly improved NC (P < 0.001) and CFU (P < 0.001). These results suggest that improved HSC recovery, viability ...Continue Reading

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
