Abstract
The potential for acute toxicity from Dynabeads1 M-450 Sheep Anti-Mouse IgG ST (SAM-Beads) administered once intravenously to male and female rats was assessed. SAM-Beads in saline containing 0.5% plasma protein fraction (PPF) was intravenously administered at dosages of 9.6 times 104 or 8.3 times 108 beads/kg at a rate of ≥2.5 ml/min/kg. Rats administered 9.6 times 104 beads/kg were killed 14 days posttreatment. Rats administered 8.3 times 108 beads/kg were killed either 14 or 42 days posttreatment. Saline containing 0.5% PPF served as the control article. Treatment groups were statistically compared with respect to clinical chemistry, hematology parameters, and body weight data. No significant group differences were detected (α = 0.01) with respect to any statistically analyzed data. No SAM-Beads were detected in urine samples collected overnight posttreatment. No test beads were found in any of the tissues from animals administered 9.6 times 104 beads/kg. The SAM-Beads were evident in the lung, liver, spleen, lymph nodes, kidney, and sternal bone marrow of rats administered 8.3 times 108 beads/kg and killed 14 or 42 days posttreatment. The SAM-Beads observed were recognized as a foreign body and were phagocy-tized by cells of the reticuloendothelial system. The majority of the SAM-Beads were found in the lung, liver, and spleen and were slightly more numerous among animals who were killed at 14 days. There was also a trend toward an increased incidence and/or distribution of phagocytized beads in the bone marrow of animals killed 42 days posttreatment when compared with the 14-day killed animals. A few extracellular beads were present in the lymph nodes, kidneys, and sternal bone marrow. Under the conditions of this study, intravenous administration of Dynabeads M-450 Sheep Anti-Mouse IgG ST did not result in any adverse test-article-related macroscopic, clinical pathologic, or histopathologic changes.

Abstract
A fetus diagnosed with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease was transplanted with Thy-1(+)CD34(+) cells of paternal origin. The transplant was performed at 14 weeks gestation by ultrasound guided injection into the peritoneal cavity. The fetus was delivered at 38 weeks gestation after an otherwise uneventful pregnancy. Umbilical cord blood was collected and used to determine the level of peripheral blood chimerism as well as levels of functional engrafted cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect donor leukocytes identified as HLA-A2(-)B7(+) cells, whereas recipient cells were identified as HLA-A2(+)B7(-) cells. No evidence of donor cell engraftment above a level of 0.01% was found. PCR was used to detect HLA-DRB1*15(+) donor cells among the recipient's HLA-DRB1*15(-) cells, but no engraftment was seen with a sensitivity of 1:1000. The presence of functional, donor-derived neutrophils was assessed by flow cytometry using two different fluorescent dyes that measure reactive oxygen species generated by the phagocyte NADPH oxidase. No evidence of paternal-derived functional neutrophils above a level of 0.15% was observed. Peripheral blood and bone marrow samples were collected at 6 months of age. Neither sample showed engraftment by HLA typing using both flow cytometry and PCR. Functional phagocytes were also not observed. Furthermore, no indication of immunological tolerance specific for the donor cells was indicated by a mixed lymphocyte reaction assay performed at 6 months of age. While there appears to be no engraftment of the donor stem cells, the transplant caused no harm to the fetus and the child was healthy at 6 months of age. Analyses of fetal tissues, obtained from elective abortions, revealed that CD3(+) T cells and CD56(+)CD3(-) NK cells are present in the liver at 8 weeks gestation and in the blood by 9 weeks gestation. The presence of these lymphocytes may contribute to the lack of donor cell engraftment in the human fetus.

Abstract
A 24-year-old man with acute lymphoblastic leukemia received an allogeneic CD34(+) cell transplant from an HLA-mismatched sibling because of refractory disease. The CD34(+) cells were enriched by the immunomagnetic method. One month after the transplant his situation became complicated due to cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigenemia, which was resistant to treatment with ganciclovir. He was treated with CD8(+) cell-depleted donor lymphocyte transfusions (CD8-depleted DLT). After CD8-depleted DLT, the CMV antigenemia disappeared completely. This case report suggested that CD8-depleted DLT was an effective therapy for CMV antigenemia after allogeneic CD34(+) cell transplantation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aims of our study performed in myeloma were to evaluate the performance and the safety of Systemix's high-speed clinical cell sorter, to assess the safety and efficacy of deescalating cell dose cohorts of CD34+Thyl+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) as autologous grafts by determining engraftment, and to assess the residual tumor cell contamination using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification assays of patient-specific complementarity determining region III (CDR III) analysis for residual myeloma cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical trial was performed in 31 multiple myeloma patients, using purified human CD34+Thyl+ HSCs mobilized from peripheral blood with cyclosphosphamide and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor to support a single transplant after high-dose melphalan 140 mg/m2 alone (cohort 1) and with total body irradiation (TBI) (cohorts 2-5) after an HSC transplant cell dose de-escalation/escalation design. RESULTS Twenty-three patients were transplanted. Engraftment data in the melphalan + TBI cohorts confirmed that HSC doses above the threshold dose of 0.8 x 10(6) CD34+Thy1+ HSCs/ kg provided prompt engraftment (absolute neutrophil count >0.5 x 10(9)/L day 10; platelet count >50 x 10(9)/L day 13). A higher rate of infections was observed in the early and late follow-up phases than usually reported after CD34+ selected or unselected autologous transplantation, which did not correlate with the CD34+Thy1+ HSC dose infused. Successful PCR for CDR III could only be performed in five patients on initial apheresis product and final CD34+Thy1+ HSC product and showed a median tumor log reduction >3.12. CONCLUSIONS CD34+Thy1+ HSCs are markedly depleted or free of detectable tumor cells in multiple myeloma and are capable of producing fast and durable hematopoietic reconstitution at cell doses >0.8 x 10(6) CD34+Thy1+ HSCs/kg. The delayed immune reconstitution observed is not different from that described in unselected autologous bone marrow and peripheral blood mononucleated cells transplants in multiple myeloma and may be corrected by addition of T cells either to the graft or to the patient in the posttransplant phase.

Abstract
We examined cell culture conditions with various combinations of cytokines including thrombopoietin (TPO) to obtain the most efficient transduction of recombinant retrovirus vectors into G-CSF-mobilized blood CD34+ cells which were obtained from children and purified with an Isolex 50 system (Baxter; Deerfield, IL). Three different 4-day culture conditions for the stimulation of CD34+ cells were compared in terms of a cell-cycle analysis by fluorometry and gene transduction efficiency as determined by resistance to G418 and NeoR polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for individual colony-forming unit-granulocyte/macrophage (CFU-GM) grown in a methylcellulose culture system. The cytokines tested were: A) interleukin (IL)-6 + stem cell factor (SCF); B) IL-3 + IL-6 + SCF, and C) IL-3 + IL-6 + SCF + TPO. Without a cell culture, the percentage of CD34+ cells in the cell cycle (the percentage of cells in phases S and G2/M) was 4.6%. After a four-day culture (n = 5), this value increased with the addition of IL-3 (22%) or IL-3 + TPO (27%, p < 0.05) as compared to that with the baseline cocktail of IL-6 + SCF (15%). The cell number uniformly increased approximately 10-fold in each culture condition. The average efficiency of gene transfer into incubated CD34+ cells with the corresponding combinations of cytokines was, respectively, 57%, 47%, and 30% for G418-screened CFU-GM and 72%, 68%, and 51% for polymerase chain reaction-positive CFU-GM. A statistically significant difference (p < 0.01) was found for G418/CFU-GM with IL-3 + IL-6 + SCF (57%) versus IL-3 + IL-6 + SCF + TPO (30%). Hence, it is likely that the increased cell proliferation produced by the addition of TPO was not necessarily translated into an increased rate of retroviral-mediated gene transduction, possibly because TPO preferentially induced the differentiation of stem cells into mature progenitors in these culture systems.

Abstract
AbstractBone marrow (BM) stromal cells are required for normal hematopoiesis. A number of soluble factors secreted by these cells that mediate hematopoiesis have been characterized. However, the mechanism of hematopoiesis cannot be explained solely by these known factors, and the existence of other, still unknown stromal factors has been postulated. We showed that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF ) is one such cytokine produced by human BM stromal cells. BM stromal cells were shown to constitutively produce HGF and also to express the c-MET/HGF receptor. The production of HGF was enhanced by addition of heparin and phorbol ester. Dexamethasone and tumor growth factor-β (TGF-β) inhibited the production of HGF. Interleukin-1α (IL-1α) tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and N6,2′-o-dibutyryl-adenosine-3′:5′-cyclic monophosphate (dbc-AMP) showed no obvious influence on HGF production. Western blot analysis of HGF derived from BM stromal cells showed two bands at 85 and 28 kD corresponding to native and variant HGF, respectively. Addition of recombinant HGF significantly promoted the formation of burst-forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E) and colony-forming unit-granulocyte erythroid macrophage (CFU-GEM) by BM mononuclear cells in the presence of erythropoietin and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF ), but the formation of CFU-GM was not modified. However, HGF had no effects on colony formation by purified CD34+ cells. Within BM mononuclear cells, c-MET was expressed on a proportion of cells (CD34−, CD33+, CD13+, CD14+, and CD15+), but was not found on CD34+ cells. We conclude that HGF is constitutively produced by BM stromal cells and that it enhances hematopoiesis. In addition, expression of c-MET on the stromal cells suggests the presence of an autocrine mechanism, operating through HGF, among stromal cells.

Abstract
The IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) gamma chain is shared among receptors for IL-4, IL-7, IL-9 and IL-15 as well as IL-2. In order to clarify the functional role of these cytokines interacting with the common gamma chain in human early hematopoiesis, we studied expression of the IL-2R gamma chain on purified CD34 positive cells from bone marrow and cord blood. Broad populations of bone marrow mononuclear cells were all found to express the IL-2R gamma chain. CD34 positive cells were purified by CD34 monoclonal antibodies and immunomagnetic beads as representative hematopoietic progenitor cells. It was established that only 38 +/- 10% of CD34 positive bone marrow cells (n = 5) and 35 +/- 12% of CD34 positive cord blood cells (n = 11) expressed the IL-2R gamma chain. CD34(+) IL-2R gamma chain(+) and CD34(+) IL-2R gamma chain(-) cells fractionated by cell sorting were subjected to clonogenic assays that showed granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming cells (CFU-GM) were present evenly in both fractions, whereas erythroid burst-forming cells (BFU-E) were enriched in the CD34(+) IL-2R gamma chain(-) fraction approximately two- to six-fold as compared with CD34(+) IL-2R gamma chain(+) fraction. Such clonogenic features did not differ between the bone marrow and cord blood cases. These results indicate that CD34(+) IL-2R gamma chain(-) cells contain immature cells already committed to the erythroid lineage.

Abstract
Mobilized peripheral blood has been shown to be a suitable source of hematopoietic progenitor cells for autologous transplantation in oncologic patients. However, tumor cell contamination can potentially occur, although to a lesser extent than in the bone marrow. CD34+ cell positive selection has been developed as a system for the ex vivo purging of remaining tumor cells when used in mobilized peripheral blood. This method has shown a lower purification potential than that obtained with bone marrow or cord blood. The reason for this is not clear, but different groups have tried to improve the purity and yield of the positive selection on mobilized peripheral blood by predepletion of nonlymphoid cell populations, since they can induce nonspecific binding. The present study was designed to test an indirect immunomagnetic CD34+ cell selection method to make it reproducible, feasible, and effective for purging mobilized peripheral blood. Twenty-nine samples from mobilized peripheral blood were tested. The median starting CD34+ percentage was 0.8 (0.3%-4.2%), and the median final purity was 87% (32.7%-99.7%), with a median yield of 44.8% (15%-83.5%). The highest purity was reproducibly achieved when the starting percentage of CD34+ cells was higher than 0.65% (median purity 93.7, range 81%-99.7%, CV 6%) on samples obtained from patients primed with chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy plus recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor. No relation was found between the content of contaminating nucleated cells and the final CD34+ cell purity. This method showed a depletion capacity, assessed by PCR on samples contaminated with K562 leukemic cells, of about 3 logs. These results indicate that this indirect immunomagnetic method can produce high purity CD34+ cell fractions from mobilized peripheral blood with a high efficiency of tumor depletion.

Abstract
Immunomagnetic separation using anti-CD34 monoclonal antibodies and paramagnetic microspheres has been used to enrich hematopoietic stem cells from human bone marrow, whole cord blood, or mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cell collections. The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of two different CD34+ cell selection techniques in enriching CD34+ cells from mobilized fresh peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Using the magnetic cell sorter (MACS), the final product purity was 74.1% CD34+ cells (starting population 2.3% +/- 3.3%) with a 60.3% CD34+ cell yield. Using Dynabeads and subsequent chymopapain incubation for releasing the target cells from the beads (Isolex system), the released cells contained 83.3% CD34+ cells (starting population 1.2% +/- 0.7%) with a 43.4% yield. These results indicate that CD34+ cells can be isolated with high purity from fresh leukapheresis products using both immunomagnetic techniques.

Abstract
The Baxter CS-3000 Plus Blood Cell Separator was used to prepare progenitor cell components in a three-step process. The process was designed to remove platelets and plasma from a leukapheresis cell product before incubation with anti-CD34 monoclonal antibody (9C5) and to remove unbound monoclonal antibody after incubation. Fluorochrome-labeled cultured KG1a (CD34+) cells were added to the leukapheresis cell product (at 2% of total WBC) before CS-3000 processing to evaluate the CS-3000 process for preparing cells for immunomagnetic selection using the Isolex 300 (SA) Magnetic Separation system. Data were obtained using five leukapheresis products. Two percent of the nucleated cells were lost during the platelet reduction wash, and 67% of the platelets were removed. The amount of antibody initially added to the cells for incubation ranged from 3.9 to 7 mg (0.5 microgram/10(6) nucleated cells). The residual antibody in the cells after the antibody wash ranged from 11 to 40 micrograms. The antibody wash resulted in a 3% loss of nucleated cells and an additional 66% removal of platelets. The antibody-sensitized cells were then processed on the Isolex 300 (SA) system. The purity and yield of the Isolex KG1a cell product were 94% and 82%, respectively.
