title: [Characteristics of the hemopoietic stem cell and its biological marker--the CD34 molecule].
abstract: The article presents the available data considering the functioning of the basic level of hematopoiesis: stem cell population. The modern concepts refer to the achievements in the field of stem cell research with particular focus on the milestones in the experimental haematology. The analysis of the structure and function of the CD 34 molecule--the main marker of the hematopoietic stem cell population--underline the close relationship between molecular biology and clinical practice. Presentation of the advantages and disadvantages of peripheral blood stem cell transplantation--opens the way to the detailed clinical discussions and presentation of our own experience gained during last year.
