Abstract

Using the intra-bone marrow injection (IBMI) technique, we recently identified human cord blood-derived CD34- severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)-repopulating cells (SRCs) with extensive lymphomyeloid reconstituting ability. In this study, we further investigated the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) characteristics of these cells in terms of proliferative and migratory potentials. The absolute numbers of CD45+ and CD34+ cells generated by 1 CD34- SRC are significantly higher than those generated by 1 CD34+ SRC. It is interesting that CD34- SRCs have significantly higher migratory and proliferative abilities than CD34+ SRCs. Moreover, only 2 CD34- SRCs transplanted to primary recipients consistently showed secondary reconstituting capacity. This finding suggested the more homogenous nature of CD34- SRCs than that of the population of CD34+ SRCs. These results provided further evidence that CD34- SRCs are functionally different from CD34+ SRCs and that they are a distinct class of primitive HSCs.

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.
