title: Basal CD34(+) cell count predicts peripheral blood progenitor cell mobilization and collection in healthy donors after administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.
abstract: We analyzed factors predicting CD34(+) cell mobilization and collection after granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) administration in 47 healthy donors. Basal CD34(+) cell count and sex were the two variables that significantly predicted a better CD34(+) cell mobilization, and greater age was the only variable associated with lower CD34+ cell yields.
