Jacob et al reported a simple equation for predicting hematopoietic stem cell yield after harvesting. The authors are from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Technology: stem cell mobilization with a protocol including G-CSF followed by apheresis
Parameters:
(1) CD34+ count in peripheral blood per microliter on day of collection, measured by flow cytometry
absolute CD34+ yield in 10^6=
= 12.11 * ((CD34+ count)^0.92)
actual yield in 10^6 =
= (0.7538 * (predicted)) + 99.127
