Description

Bone marrow or peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cells are collected for patients scheduled to undergo stem cell (bone marrow) transplantation. For autologous transplants, the patient donates his or her own cells. For allogeneic transplants, a healthy donor provides cells for a patient. Collected cells (harvested by aspiration from the marrow or by therapeutic apheresis from the blood after treatment of the donor with a stem cell mobilizing agent such filgrastim) are processed to concentrate the stem cells. Stem cells may be further processed in a variety of ways, depending upon the source and volume of stem cells and the diagnosis of the recipient. In selected cases, the concentrated stem cell preparation is processed to concentrate or eliminate cells found in the collection. A special chemical mixture is added to protect cells during freezing, and they are frozen and stored at temperatures below 80 degrees Celsius until thawed for infusion into the patient. Stem cell transplantation is used to replace diseased bone marrow, as in leukemia, or as an adjunctive measure for patients undergoing high-dose chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. For some diagnoses, stem cell transplantation procedures are experimental. New York Blood Center, accessed 20081218. Source: Regenstrief Institute , Stem cell product
