| Research Abstract |
1. Decided engraft condition f human stem cel to NOD/Scid.
We decided human cell engraft condition : Total body irradiation 250R and co transplantation with irradiated huma peripheral stem cell, without MS5
2. Establishment of human stem cell assay system.
We decided conditions for detecting 1% of human stem cell in mouse blood and decide sex ratios.Using this PCR technique, we analyzed transplanted human cord blood cells mixed in various sex ratio.We confirmed that initial transplanted sex ratios were well preserved in whole bone marrow fractions, sorted cells, and colony forming cells even after 8 weeeks of transplantation.
3. Quantification of EX VIVO cultured human stem cells
After 4 or 6 days after ex vivo culture usind soluble IL-6 Receptor, SCF, FLT-3 ligand, TPO cells were co transplan ted precultured cells of same lots.We found that ex vivo cultures impared engraft capabilities.
4. Conclusions
We established, for the first time, the true competitive repopulation assay system of human hematopoietic stem cell.Also ourex vivo culture data indicate that conventional progentor assay systems could not predict true stem cell status.
