Abstract:Cell dose is a major criterion for cord blood unit (CBU) selection for allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). The aim of this study was the characterization of CBU cellular composition after thaw, and comparison with corresponding values at cryopreservation as reported by cord blood (CB) banks. The study included 87 CBUs, that were thawed for infusion in the context of single (n¼3) or dual-unit (n¼42) allo-SCT in adults with hematologic malignancies, from 8/2006 to 6/2013. Upon thawing, the cryoprote… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
