Abstract:
Recent reports have suggested that the total number of autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) infused after high-dose chemotherapy might predict survival, post-transplant morbidity and rate of hematopoietic engraftment. However, HSC capable of long-term multilineage potential are still poorly defined, and tools for accurate and reproducible HSC enumeration are highly warranted.
