Recent studies have demonstrated the presence of human lineage- (lin-)CD34- cells that are capable of differentiating into CD34+ cells in xenogeneic transplantation systems. We developed a new filter system that can enrich lin-CD34- cells, a precursor cell population of CD34+ cells. The filter consists of polyethylene terephthalate non-woven fabrics coated with hydrophilic polymer. The frequency of lin-CD34- cells in the cell population after filtration was 7.45 +/- 4.41%, a 16.8 +/- 8.81-fold enrichment compared with 0. 49 +/- 0.31% in the cell population before filtration. The mean recovery of lin-CD34- cells was 48.57 +/- 13.59% (n = 15). Purified lin-CD34- cells, obtained by sorting the filtrated cell population, acquired CD34 expression and colony-forming activity after 7 d of culture. Our results indicate that this filter system is useful for isolating lin-CD34- cells, including precursors of CD34+ cells, and will help further the study of lin-CD34- cells.
