Highly fluorescent reticulocyte (HFR) counts were evaluated in 13 consecutive patients affected by hematological malignancies and submitted to autologous selected CD34+ peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) transplantation. Results were compared with a historical group of patients comparable for age, disease and conditioning regimen submitted to unfractionated PBPC transplantation. HFR counts of the CD34+ group declined to an undetectable level from day +4 to day +10 when they became detectable and reached 5% of total reticulocyte count by day +12. In the historical group, the nadir was identical but the recovery was faster (day +9). Total reticulocyte count > 1% was achieved at days +17 and +11, respectively. The absolute neutrophil count (ANC) recovery was identical in both groups, achieving a value > 0.5 x 10(9)/l at day +13 after reinfusion. Hence, in the historical group, HFR count gave advance notice of complete and stable hemopoietic engraftment while in the CD34+ group HFR and ANC count showed almost simultaneous recovery.

D008228 Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin Any of a group of malignant tumors of lymphoid tissue that differ from HODGKIN DISEASE, being more heterogeneous with respect to malignant cell lineage, clinical course, prognosis, and therapy. The only common feature among these tumors is the absence of giant REED-STERNBERG CELLS, a characteristic of Hodgkin's disease.

D009101 Multiple Myeloma A malignancy of mature PLASMA CELLS engaging in monoclonal immunoglobulin production. It is characterized by hyperglobulinemia, excess Bence-Jones proteins (free monoclonal IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) in the urine, skeletal destruction, bone pain, and fractures. Other features include ANEMIA; HYPERCALCEMIA; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY.

D012156 Reticulocytes Immature ERYTHROCYTES. In humans, these are ERYTHROID CELLS that have just undergone extrusion of their CELL NUCLEUS. They still contain some organelles that gradually decrease in number as the cells mature. RIBOSOMES are last to disappear. Certain staining techniques cause components of the ribosomes to precipitate into characteristic "reticulum" (not the same as the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM), hence the name reticulocytes. Reticulocyte

D005456 Fluorescent Dyes Chemicals that emit light after excitation by light. The wave length of the emitted light is usually longer than that of the incident light. Fluorochromes are substances that cause fluorescence in other substances, i.e., dyes used to mark or label other compounds with fluorescent tags.
