| Popis: | The optimal conditions required to harvest dendritic cells (DC) for immunotherapy were investigated in a series of preliminary investigations using peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) harvests and blood from patients with myeloma. There was no difference in the number of DC (CMRF44+, CD19-, CD14-) in PBSC mobilized with G-CSF (mean 0.28%, n = 7) compared with GM-CSF (mean 0.24%, n = 6) and apheresis itself did not concentrate DC. In longitudinal studies (n = 10), the peak DC count (day 12 post PBSC harvest) did not correlate with the peak CD34+ cell count or white cell count. A simple affinity purification of DC resulted in a mean 63-fold purification. Affinity enriched suspensions from normal blood contained more DC (mean = 18.8%; n = 5) than those from patients with myeloma (mean = 9.9%; n = 13). The percentage of DC with a lymphoid phenotype (CD11c-, CDw123hi+) was significantly higher in G-CSF mobilized PBSC harvests (22.7%; n = 6) than in peripheral blood samples from patients with myeloma (7.0%; n = 13; p = 0.01). DC endocytosis was normal and did not change throughout the course of the disease. Neither DC numbers nor subsets changed significantly between days 1 and 3 of culture. Current mobilization procedures, optimized for PBSC, need to be altered when harvesting DC. |
