title: [Purging of hemopoietic progenitor cells in autologous transplantation].
abstract: The authors describe the results of purification of bone marrow and peripheral progenitor cells (PBPC) for clinical transplantations. Vepeside was used to purify in 1990-1995 a total of 41 bone marrows of adults and children. Of these 23 were transplanted. Maphosphamide was used bone marrow purging in two patients; transplantation was performed in one case. By a combination of Vepeside with methylprednisolone haematopoietic cells of 24 patients were purged, transplantations were performed in 10. Three-day cultivation of haematopoietic cells in the presence of Desferal was used for purging cells of 22 patients with neuroblastoma; transplantations were performed in 10 patients. The authors give the values of nucleated cells, haematopoietic colonies of CFU-GM and CD34 positive cells obtained after purification calculated per kg body weight of the patient and the percentage yields.
