Clonogenicity of circulating neuroblastoma cells: implications regarding peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.
Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) are being used as an alternative to autologous marrow rescue for hematopoietic reconstitution after high-dose chemotherapy in patients with neuroblastoma and other solid malignancies. Use of PBSCs is preferred by some because of the belief that there is less risk of tumor contamination. Because tumor stem cell contamination is thought to be one contributing c...
متن کاملContamination of peripheral blood stem cell harvests by circulating neuroblastoma cells.
Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) are being used as one alternative to autologous marrow rescue for patients with neuroblastoma and other solid malignancies. Some physicians prefer use of PBSC because less risk of tumor contamination is believed to exist. This hypothesis was evaluated by immunocytologic analysis of blood samples and concurrently drawn bone marrow (BM) samples and of PBSC harve...
متن کاملCirculating Tumor Cells in Neuroblastoma
A 2-year-old girl presented with fever, hepatomegaly, and progressively increasing proptosis of the right eye for 1 month. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a well-defined multi-lobulated predominantly hyperechoic mass lesion of 10.9x2.5x6.1 cm with a few foci of coarse calcification and small cystic areas arising from the right suprarenal region. The lesion was inferiorly compressing the renal par...
متن کاملConditioned Medium from Cultured Colorectal Cancer Cells Affects Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Inflammatory Phenotype in Vitro
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. Studies have indicated that immune cells and soluble factors play a key role in maintaining the balance between tumor-promoting inflammation and anti-tumor immunity. It has been shown that secreted cytokines from CRC cell lines could affect peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), monocytes, and macrophages phenot...
متن کاملOptimization of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) cryopreservation
Cryopreservation is the method of choice for long term storage of human PBMCs. This study was designed to compare the different combinations of variables affecting the cryopreservation of PBMCs samples. The viability of PBMCs separated from 2×5 ml peripheral blood samples obtained from 16 healthy adult volunteers, were measured using trypan blue dye exclusion method just before freezing with ...
