Method of expansion for adult blood stem cells, especially peripheral blood, and associated use in the medical field

摘要

A method for the expansion of adult stem cells from blood, particularly but not only peripheral blood, involves removing adult stem cells from blood of a mammal, immediately expanding the stem cells via in-vitro treatment with MCSF (Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor) at a concentration of about 8-15 nM, and purifying the expanded stem cells. Compositions and methods of using the expanded adult stem cells are also described.
