Objective:To investigate the separation effect of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) precipitation for nucleated cells(MNCs).Methods:31 copies of cord blood were collected and separated by HES separation and density centrifugation (Ficoll) for MNCs, the
CD3+ cells, CD14+ cells, and CD34+ cells, purified by immunomagnetic technique, and cell viability were detected by trypan blue
staining.Results:The rate of recollection for MNCs and CFU-GM counts using HES method were higher than that using of Ficoll
method (85.29± 3.79 VS 47.06± 4.61, t=35.67, P<0.05; 67.31± 11.57/l× 105MNCs VS 28.54± 6.39/l× 105MNCs, t=16.33, P<0.05);
CD3+, CD14+, CD34+ cells, using HES method were higher than that of Ficoll method (t=5.76, t=2.51, t=6.67, P<0.05).Conclusion:HES
method is an appropriate method for separating HSCs. |
