Introduction • We and others have demonstrated that unrelated cord blood (UCB) is an effective alternative source of allogeneic stem cells in pediatric and selected adult recipients • Kurtzberg et al, NEJM, 1996 • Cairo et al, Blood, 1997 • Rubinstein et al, NEJM, 1998 • Laughlin et al, NEJM, 2001 • Rubinstein et al at the NYBC and the COBLT/NHLBI working group have established procedures for maternal donor screening and consent and UCB collection, processing, cryopreservation, thawing and shipping • Rubinstein et al, PNAS, 1995 • Fraser et al, J Hematotherapy, 1998
Introduction • CB CD34+/kg graft content has been significantly correlated with engraftment and survival following UCBT • Wagner et al, Blood, 2002 • Styczynski et al, BMT, 2004 • CB vs BM CD34+/38- has a higher cloning efficiency, proliferate more rapidly and generate more HPC • Cardoso et al, PNAS, 1993 • Hao et al, Blood, 1995 • CB CD34+/CD90+(Thy-1+) possess a high clonogenic cell expansion capacity and increased HPP-CFC • Mayani et al, Blood, 1994 • PB CD34+/CD41+ (CD61+) subsets are significantly correlated with platelet recovery following Auto PBSCT • Derecksen et al, JCO, 1998
Objectives • To characterize processed CB HPC subsets including CD34+, CD34+/CD38-, CD34+/CD90+ and CD34+/CD61+ • To correlate processed CB HPC subsets with in vitro CB HPC colony formation including total CFU, CFU-GEMM, CFU-GM and BFU-E • To determine the relationship of birth weight, gestational age, ethnicity, gender and type of delivery with processed CB HPC

Summary • Post processing CB log nucleated RBC was significantly correlated with log CD34+, TNCC, total CFU and BFU-E • Post processing CB log CD34+ was significantly correlated with log TNCC, CD34+/CD38-, CD34+/CD61+ and CD34+/CD90+ HPC subsets • Post processing CB log CD34+ and CD34+ subsets were significantly correlated with log total CFU, CFU-GEMM, CFU-GM and BFU-E HPC subsets
Speculation • Post processing CB HPC CD34+ subsets and/or in vitro CB HPC CFUs may potentially correlate with the kinetics of lineage specific CB engraftment post CBT • Ethnicity, gender, delivery, birth weight and /or gestational age may have a significant effect on CB HPC and therefore, may be a factor in the future selection of a processed CB unit for CBT
