| dc.description.abstract | Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is gaining more prominence in recent times as a source of non-embryonic multipotent stem cells. Global annual human birth rate (100 million) presents UCB as the largest non-controversial stem cell source, with an added advantage of naive immune status. Cord blood stem cells are routinely utilized in stem cell transplantation in leukemia patients and carry huge potential to treat other human diseases with less concern of rejection. Because UCB contains low number of stem cells, their use is associated with significant delays in engraftment of neutrophils and platelets. Development of reliable methods for isolation and expansion of cord blood stem cells is critical for consequent clinical application. The focus of this chapter is to review the methods currently used by different research groups and to recommend an isolation protocol that yields optimal number of UCB stem cells. | |
