Optimal regimens for the mobilization and collection of peripheral blood progenitor cells from normal donors

Abstract

The optimisation of mobilisation and collection of progenitor cells from normal donors remains a central issue in all investigations of allogeneic peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation. It is important that donor issues remain a major concern and that they carry no more hazard to the donor than routine bone marrow harvesting. This paper reviews current data concerning these issues.
