The purpose of this study was to phenotype and assay immunological function on cord blood from 70 samples. Immunophenotyping indicated similar numbers of CD2, 3, and 8-positive cells as in adult bone marrow. CD4-positive cells were increased and CD19, 20, and CD56-positive cells were decreased in numbers. Proliferative responses to nonspecific mitogens were lower in cord blood cells than in adult cells, as was NK activity and spontaneous secretion of IL-6 and TNF-alpha. This study confirms the relative immaturity of cord blood cells even when some functional assays appear normal.
