Comparative in vitro analysis of different hematopoietic cell populations from human cord blood: in search of the best option for clinically oriented ex vivo cell expansion

Abstract

Our study suggests that the cell fraction containing greater than 98% CD34+ CD38- cells would be the ideal one for large-scale ex vivo expansion; however, based on our data, it seems that, except for MNCs, all other cell populations could also be used as input cell fractions.
