Abstract:
Peripheral blood derived hematopoietic stem cells (PBSC) have been transplanted successfully to eight patients suffering from different malignancies. The separations were started during chemotherapy-induced cytopenia and large volumes of peripheral blood were processed. Using this separation concept, it was possible in all cases to obtain the stem cell amount necessary for hematopoietic reconstitution.
