[Nude mice intraperitoneally transfused with ex vivo expanded bone marrow CD34+ CD59+ cells from patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria].

Ex vivo expanded human bone marrow CD34(+)CD59(+) cells from patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) were transplanted into BALB/c mice in order to investigate their proliferation ability and reconstruction of hemopoiesis, and to lay the groundwork for clinical ABMT/APBSCT in PNH patients. CD34(+)CD59(+) cells were selected from the bone marrow mononuclear cells in PNH patients by using immunomagnetic positive double sorting. Sublethally irradiated BALB/c mice were transplanted with CD34(+)CD59(+) cells enriched from bone narrow of PNH patients. The results showed that human CD45(+) cells were detected in the bone marrow, spleen and peripheral blood of the nude mice by flow cytometry and DNA analysis at 6 weeks post-transplant. Blood routine indicators of nude mice were found to recover to some extent, but did not fully recover. It is concluded that ex vivo expanded bone marrow CD34(+)CD59(+) cells from patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria could keep their biological characteristics and ability to reconstruct hemopoiesis in irradiated BALB/c mice.
