[corrected] The use of allogeneic cord blood (CB) products as a source of cellular support for patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy has been limited primarily to smaller children due to the low numbers of cells in a CB unit. Ex vivo expansion of CB cells has been proposed as a method to increase the number of cells available for transplantation. Following high-dose chemotherapy administration, we transplanted adult patients with CB expanded in static culture for 10 days, in DM containing stem cell factor (SCF), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), and megakaryocyte growth and development factor (MGDF). Patients achieved neutrophil engraftment in a median of 26 days (range 15 to 45). In an attempt to hasten the time to neutrophil engraftment, we developed a two-step culture system that results in increased expansion of total nucleated cells and further maturation of neutrophil precursors.
