This is the first time we have encountered a nil CD34 harvest, and are
very interested in the experience of others who have encountered the
same thing. Questions that come to mind:
Are the cells there, but unassayable?
Is a different mobilization technique required?
What has been the subsequent bone marrow harvest yield, if performed
Is a CFU assay concordant?
Any and all thoughts appreciated! -E gold MD
