Abstract

The ability to culture and expand hematopoietic progenitor cells ex vivo has major implications for both bone marrow and stem cell support following marrow ablative or subablative high-dose therapy and for improving the efficiency of retroviral transfection in gene marking and gene therapy. This review focuses on methods for the generation of myeloid progenitor and post-progenitor cells from peripheral blood stem cell collections, with particular emphasis on the characterization of these cells and practical issues associated with their expansion.
