Infusion of a Cryopreservable Human Megakaryocyte-Biased Cell Product Results in Sustained Platelet Reconstitution in Vivo
Blood(2018)
摘要
The demand for platelet (PTL) transfusions has steadily increased, straining a supply that is limited by its dependency on donors, short lifespan, risk of infections and alloimmunization. This stimulated the search for alternative PTL sources including PTLs generated ex vivo from primary CD34+ cells and immortalized pluripotent stem cells. These approaches, however, are associated with obstacles such as scalability and encounter identical limitations as donor PTLs: short shelf life, storage at ambient temperature and limited lifespan after infusion. These obstacles lead us to focus our efforts on not producing PLTs but rather a cryopreservable cell product consisting of megakaryocytes (MK) that can produce PTLs after transfusion into patients.
