말초혈액 조혈모세포 채집 시기 결정인자로서 SE-9000™을 이용한 IMI의 유용성 평가 ; Determining the Optimal Time for Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Harvest by Detecting Immature Cells using Hematology Analyzer, SE-9000[TM] IMI Channel

Background :A key to successful peripheral blood stem cell transplantation is to harvest a sufficient amount of hematopoietic stem cells. A method of quickly detecting hematopoietic stem cells in peripheral blood with simple procedures using the SE-9000TM IMI channel (TOA Medical Electronics Co., Ltd., Kobe, Japan) was developed. In this study, usefulness of determining the optimal time for peripheral blood stem cell harvest using IMI channel was investigated. Method :Seventy nine peripheral blood stem cell collections were performed from thirteen patients with hematologic malignancy and nineteen patients with solid organ malignancy. In 13 cases, G-CSF was administrered following chemotherapy. In 19 cases only G-CSF was used to mobilize the peripheral blood stem cells. The counts of leukocytes, mononuclear cells, CD34 positive cells, and IMI in peripheral blood and leukapheresis products were determined. Result :The CD34 positive cell count in harvested PBSC showed positive correlation with leukocyte cell, mononuclear cell, CD34 positive cell, and IMI in peripheral blood, with correlation coefficients of 0.48, 0.27, 0.63, 0.66, respectively. Positive correlation was presented between IMI and CD34 positive cell in peripheral blood and harvested PBSC, with a correlation coefficient, 0.83 and 0.74, respectively. Conclusion :As the SE-9000TM enables determination of the number of PBSC easily and rapidly, within approximately 85 seconds, whereas CD34 assays is expensive and needs skilled operator, the measurement of IMI positive cells is clinically useful for monitoring the peripheral blood stem cell mobilization. ; open
