Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant: Correlation of Donor Factors with Yield, Engraftment, Chimerism, and Outcome: Retrospective Review of a Single Institute During a 3-Year Period.

BACKGROUND
Donor factors have a variable correlation with cluster of differentiation (CD)34+ cell dose in allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) harvests. CD34+ cell dose affects the speed of hematopoietic recovery and percentage of donor chimerism in the recipient.


METHODS
A total of 25 allogeneic PBSC transplants performed during a 3-year period were included. All donors underwent mobilization with filgrastim. Leukapheresis, flowcytometric CD34+ cell enumeration, and chimerism analysis were performed and correlated with recipient outcome.


RESULTS
Besides age, all other donor parameters had a positive correlation with CD34+ cell count. Engraftment kinetics and chimerism had a positive correlation with the CD34+ yield of the PBSC product. Acute graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) was observed in patients with complete chimerism at day 30 after transplantation.


CONCLUSION
Adequate CD34+ cell yield happens in healthy donors, independent of donor demographic patterns with G-CSF only. A diverse population of donors can thus be approached for Matched Unrelated Donor (MUD) transplants. An accurate quantitative analysis of early donor chimerism in the recipient (at day 30) is an excellent tool for post-transplant monitoring for acute GvHD.
