Best Practices in Processing and Storage for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

Abstract

Upon collection of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs), there are numerous steps that must take place to guarantee the potency and purity of the product in anticipation of transplantation. Every HPC product must have cell enumeration, flow cytometric immunophenotypic studies, sterility testing, viability studies, and, if necessary, cryopreservation and storage. It is critical that cryopreserved HPC products, which may be stored for years, be kept in a way that permits the cells to remain viable and functional in order for engraftment to occur. In this chapter, laboratory processes specifically pertaining to HPC, Apheresis and HPC, Marrow products will be discussed.
