Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells (Transplant) Flashcards
who oversees HPC marrow transplants that have been minimally manipulated and collected from unrelated donors?
Health Resources and Services Administration
who oversees HPC marrow transplants that have been more than minimally manipulated?
FDA
cells in the bone marrow that are capable of becoming any of the mature cells
hematopoietic stem cells
cells capable of differentiation and self-renewal, not committed to particular blood cell lineage
hematopoietic stem cells
cells not capable of differentiation and self-renewal; more mature cells that are multi-potent or committed to a particular blood cell lineage
hematopoietic progenitor cells
most common indication for HPC transplant
malignant diseases
what percentage of circulating white cells are stem cells (CD34+)?
<0.05%
what are stem cell mobilization regiments used for?
to increase levels of circulating CD34+ cells in preparation for HPC collection of peripheral blood by apheresis
is stem cell mobilization typically used for bone marrow harvesting?
no
what is used for stem cell mobilization in allogeneic donors?
G-CSF
what is used for stem cell mobilization in patients with malignant diseases undergoing autologous stem cell transplant?
chemotherapy
indication for autologous HPC transplantation
rescue of patient with patient’s own HPCs following otherwise lethal or near-lethal dose of radiation or chemotherapy given to treat malignancies or marrow and metastatic or recurrent solid tumors
what CBC parameter decreases during autologous HPC apheresis collection?
platelets
apheresis collection goal of CD34 cells for single autologous transplant
2x10^6 CD34 cells/kg to 5x10^6
in what type of HPC transplant are the host and donor the same individual?
autologous
what is the risk of graft rejection in autologous HPC transplant?
low (no immunologic rejection)
what is the risk of GVHD is autologous HPC transplant?
none
autologous HPC transplant donor eligibility screening concerns:
medical condition of patient
sensitivity of malignancy to myeloablative regimen
possibility of tumor cells in harvested marrow
sufficient number of cells collected to reconstitute the marrow after myeloablation
how long is posttransplant immunosuppression for allogeneic HPC transplant?
6 months
what transplant type is useful in genetic and all stem cell diseases?
allogeneic
related MHC match allogeneic transplant
host and donor are fully genotypically matched at the MHC locus
related MHC partial match allogeneic transplant
host and donor differ at least one major MHC locus
unrelated MHC match allogeneic transplant
host and donor may be phenotypically partially or fully MHC matched but are genotypically disparate
T-cell depleted allogeneic transplant
cells are manipulated to remove T-cells or T-cell subset
transplant type in which host and donor and fully matched at both major and minor histocompatibility antigens, usually due to host and donor being identical twins
syngeneic
transplant type in which host and donor are disparate individuals who may or may not match at major histocompatibility complex locus and are usually not matched at minor histocompatibility loci
allogeneic
when is syngeneic transplant indicated?
acquired diseases in which entire progenitor cell population is abnormal
type of transplant with human recipient and live HPCs from nonhuman animal source or human cells with no ex-vivo contact
xenogeneic
sources of HPC
bone marrow
peripheral blood
umbilical cord blood
traditional source of progenitor cells
bone marrow
what HPC source is used predominantly in allografting?
bone marrow
HPC source used predominantly in autografting
peripheral blood
target collection for autologous transplant
> 2.0x10^8 nucleated cells per kg recipient body weight
target collection for allogeneic transplant
> 3.0x10^8 nucleated cells per kg of recipient body weight
