Abstract
We analyzed factors predicting CD34(+) cell mobilization and collection after granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) administration in 47 healthy donors. Basal CD34(+) cell count and sex were the two variables that significantly predicted a better CD34(+) cell mobilization, and greater age was the only variable associated with lower CD34+ cell yields.
