Abstract:
We investigated the expression of different cell adhesion molecules on cord blood (CB) and bone marrow (BM) CD34+/CD38+ and CD34+/CD38- cells. CD11a and CD62L were more expressed in CB than in BM CD34+/CD38- subset, suggesting a possible advantage in homing and engraftment. A short exposure to various cytokines increased CD62L expression only in the more differentiated CB and BM CD34+/CD38+ cells.
