title: Clinical use of selected and expanded peripheral blood CD34+ cells: a preliminary report of feasibility and safety.
abstract: In this report, we describe the preliminary results from a feasibility and safety study on the clinical use of CD34-positive cells cultured from mobilized peripheral blood. Separation and cell expansion were successfully performed, and the patients tolerated the infusions without problems and achieved engraftment.
