Autologous transplantation: the viable transplanted CD34+ cell dose measured post-thaw does not predict engraftment kinetics better than the total CD34+ cell dose measured pre-freeze in patients that receive more than 2x10(6) CD34+ cells/kg.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate whether the number of viable CD34+ cells in
cryopreserved PBPC autografts is a better predictor of engraftment than the total
CD34+ cell number determined before freezing.
