Popis: For T-cell depletion in HLA-nonidentical bone marrow transplantation of children with malignant diseases, we improved the original lectin/rosetting method described in 1981 by adding anti-CD2/3 coated donor red blood cells to the combination to achieve lectin agglutination in one step. Further improvements in handling led to a shortened and simplified method and better quality of the graft. Five bone marrow grafts prepared with this modified protocol contained a median number of 6 (0-28) x 10(4) T-cells per kg, corresponding to 0.02 (0-0.08)% CD3+ cells and 6 (3.7-10.5) x 10(6) CD34+ cells per kg at a median body-weight of 7 (5-38)kg. The overall recoveries after T-cell depletion were: NC 17 (10-44)%, CD34+ cells 61 (22-100)%, and CFU-GM 55 (29-212)%.
