Storage in safety of hemopoietic progenitor cells

SUMMARY The storage of hemopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) is a current practice to allow autologous transplantation or, in very rare cases, to collect enough HPC from donors with documented suboptimal characteristics as referred to a given recipient (e.g. high weight disparity) or not endowed with proper vascular accesses (i.e. in case of peripheral HPC collection). In the autologous setting, HPC storage may last several years at very low...
