We recently stem-cell harvested a 50 y/o asian male with NHL in remission by peripheral apheresis, after 5 days of g-csf (5 mcg/kg/day). Pre harvest CBC was 30000 wbc's, with 75% neutrophils. 3.86 X 10^8 MNC's were collected, but NO CD 34+ cells. This is the first time we have encountered a nil CD34 harvest, and are very interested in the experience of others who have encountered the same thing. Questions that come to mind: Are the cells there, but unassayable? Is a different mobilization technique required? What has been the subsequent bone marrow harvest yield, if performed Is a CFU assay concordant? Any and all thoughts appreciated! -E gold MD ======================================================================= Eric Gold M.D. <egold@path.som.sunysb.edu> Blood Bank, Dept. of Pathology SUNY @ Stony Brook Stony Brook, NY 11794-3419 Voice: 516 444 2630 Fax: 444 3137
