| Research Abstract |
Ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem cells using stromal cells that were fixed on three-dimensional scaffolds was investigated to apply this method to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In this study, stromal cells were firstly cultured on the three-dimensional porous scaffolds, and then fixed by organic solvent (acetone, methanol or ethanol). Expansion of hematopoietic cells was performed by cultivating them on the fixed stromal cells, and effects of the organic solvents on the hematopoietic cell expansion were examined. From these culture experiments, it was demonstrated that highest expansion of the hematopoietic cells was achieved when the stromal cells were fixed by acetone, and that the stromal cells fixed by ethanol, less toxic solvent, were also effective in expanding the hematopoietic cells.
