Optimal timing of peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) harvest to collect maximal stem cell numbers is unknown. We assessed the progenitor cell content in 128 PBPC harvests from 21 patients primed with chemotherapy and granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in relation to absolute neutrophil count (ANC) at collection time. Samples were obtained by leukapheresis during rebound from chemotherapy-induced neutropenia while receiving GM-CSF, and assayed by flow cytometry for CD34+ and by colony assays for CFU-GM and BFU-E. The CD34+ cell concentrations per sample tended to be greater at an ANC < 1,000 mm3 and decreased with rising ANC (p = 0.001). The CFU-GM and BFU-E concentrations per sample remained relatively constant with rising ANC (p = 0.72, p = 0.90, respectively). Total CD34+ cell number per harvest per kg slightly increased with ANC levels (p = 0.044) whereas the total CFU-GM and the total BFU-E per kilogram increased more modestly with rising ANC (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively). We conclude that after priming with chemotherapy and GM-CSF, PBPC could be collected at different absolute neutrophil counts without greatly affecting total CD34+ cell numbers. The greater concentration of CD34+ progenitor cells at a lower ANC together with the CFU-GM and BFU-E peaking with higher ANC suggest a less mature progenitor cell population at lower ANC levels.

D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
