title: [The effects of sera from patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hematoglobinuria on the growth of CD34(+) cells].
abstract: To investigate the effects of sera on the growth of single CD34(+) cells from patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hematoglobinuria (PNH), sera from both PNH patients and normal individuals were added separately to the single cell culture system and semi-solid colony formation system. The growth of the normal CD34(+) and PNH CD34(+) CD59(+) and CD34(+) CD59(-) cells was evaluated. No growth difference was found for growth of the normal CD34(+) and PNH CD34(+) CD59(+) cells when PNH or normal sera were added to the culture media in either single cell culture or colony formation culture. While no difference was detected for single PNH CD34(+) CD59(-) cells growth when PNH or normal sera were added, more colonies were observed in semi-solid culture with PNH sera. A conclusion was reached that compared with those from normal controls, the sera from PNH patients had no significant influence on single hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells derived from normal subjects and from PNH patients, but the PNH sera might promote the colony formation of the CD34(+) CD59(+) cells in semi-solid culture
