title: [The effect of GM-CSF/IL-3 on the grafting efficiency of CD34+ hemopoietic progenitor cells from umbilical cord blood].
abstract: CD34+ cells were isolated from human umbilical cord blood by using a high-gradient magnetic cell sorting system with anti-CD34 monoclonal antibody coated with microbeads, and then inoculated onto a pre-formed irradiated bone marrow stroma to evaluate the grafting efficiency of CD34+ cells with rhGM-CSF or IL-3, alone or in combination. The results showed that only 36% CD34+ cells in the control, and 68 - 89.6% in the groups with growth factors treatment seeded to the stroma. A short incubation of CD34+ cells with growth factors could rapidly reconstitute a long-term hemopoiesis in the long-term liquid culture system. This demonstrates that a brief treatment of CD34+ cells with GM-CSF or IL-3 can improve the grafting efficiency of transplanted umbilical cord blood cells.
