Abstract

Autological transplantation of bone marrow as well as hematopoietic and precursor cells obtained from peripheral blood with the use of cell apheresis is a therapy applied in the treatment of hematological diseases and solid tumours. The mobilization of hematopoietic cells is performed by applying cytostatic drugs and/or recombinant growth factors (G-CSF, GM-CSF). The collection of CD 34+ cells is performed by using cell separators. An important role in the transplantation procedure is played by purging techniques of transplantation material from residual neoplastic cells (negative selection) or isolation of hematopoietic cells (positive selection). The considerable progress in this field is connected with the implementation of Immunoadsorbtive or magnetic methods as well as those of molecular biology. The improvement of the procedure of hematopoietic cells transplantation and its efficacy is caused by the stimulation of the hematopoiesis by using the combination of cytokines (G-CSF, GM-CSF, IL-3, SCF) and purging of the hematopoietic cells obtained from the cellular apheresis.
