Stem Cell Mobilization by Myelosuppressive Chemotherapy

  • Chapter

Abstract

Increased peripheral blood (PB) levels of granulocyte macrophage colony-froming units (CFU-GM) during haematopoietic recovery following cytotoxic-induced myelosuppression were first described in 1976 and 1979 [1, 2]. Richman et al. postulated that sufficient haematopoietic stem cells for autologous haematopoietic reconstitution could be collected by leukapheresis during such recovery. Further investigation of this alternative source of haematopoietic stem cells was initially limited, partly by the lack of technical expertise in stem cell apheresis and partly by the general view that PB stem cells (PBSC) were inferior to bone marrow stem cells in self-renewal and capacity to produce haematopoietic reconstitution (HR). This latter view resulted from murine studies [3–5] and from two reports of failed HR after PBSC infusion in humans [6, 7].
