| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to develop a miniature swine model forgene therapy for Fabry disease. We tried to collect hematopoietic stem cells from bonemarrow or G-CSF mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cells, however G-CSF mobilized apherisis method only allowed us to collect enough number of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. We also tried to establish mouse anti-miniature swine CD34 peptide antibody, however the cells recognized by the antibody did not grow in cytokine containing methlycellulose plate. Further characterization of miniature swine hematopoietic stem cell need to be clarified for utilizing this model in gene therapy preclinical mode.
