CB indicates cord blood; ABM, adult bone marrow; ABM-PMVEC, PMVEC coculture expanded ABM, CB-PMVEC, PMVEC coculture expanded CB.
CB and ABM CD34+ cells were immunomagnetically isolated and expanded for 17 days in cultures with or without pre-established PMVEC monolayers. Cultures were supplemented with IL3, IL6, GM-CSF, SCF, and FLT-3L. HLA-mismatched PMVEC coculture-expanded CB and ABM cells were injected individually or simultaneously into human fetal bone fragment (bearing a third distinct HLA allele) implanted in the SCID mouse (SCID-hu bone assay) to determine their competitive marrow repopulating ability. CD34+ cells were reisolated prior to injection.
Ten weeks after injection, fetal bone implants were removed and analyzed for the presence of CB and ABM HLA-bearing cells and CD19, CD33, and CD34 cells in a 5-color flow cytometric assay. Uninjected grafts were used to determine the level of nonspecific binding of monoclonal antibodies.
Positive grafts indicate number of grafts containing donor-derived multilineage hematopoiesis per total number of injected grafts.
Percent positive cells represent donor-derived to total cells of the particular cell lineage present in the bone 10 weeks after injection. Numbers are expressed as mean % ± SEM.
