Methods

Processing whole blood samples

  • Peripheral (PB.1 and PB.2) and cord (CB.1 and CB.2) blood-derived CD34+ cells were obtained from AllCells .
  • Blood collections were performed at AllCells and using standard, 8 ml Vacutainer Cell Processing Tubes (both sodium citrate and sodium heparin-based tubes are acceptable ; , ).
  • Appropriate documentation for informed consent was completed prior to blood collection .
  • Vacutainers were processed within 24 hours of collection.
  • Briefly, the PBMC-containing upper phase was collected and washed with ice-cold PBS .
  • Cells were either frozen down or used directly for purification with the CD34 MicroBead Kit and used according to the manufacturer's protocol.
  • Some samples were treated with Histopaque ( ; St. Louis, ) to minimize the number of red blood cells and centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 20 minutes without braking.
  • The interface containing the PBMCs was removed if samples were treated with histopaque, cells washed again with chilled…
