Benefits of technology

[0042]Chemotherapeutic agents can inhibit binding of stem cells to germinal centers of lymphoid tissues including lymph nodes, Peyer's patches, and the white pulp of the spleen. Also, agents that suppress the immune response may reduce the numbers of active germinal centers in the spleen. Such agents include:
[0141]A “progenitor or precursor” cell is partially specialized; it self-renews and also gives rise to differentiated cells. Researchers often distinguish precursor / progenitor cells from adult stem cells in that when a stem cell divides, one of the two new cells is often a stem cell capable of replicating itself again. In contrast when a progenitor / precursor cell divides, it can form more progenitor / precursor cells or it can form two specialized cells. Progenitor / precursor cells can replace cells that are damaged or dead, thus maintaining the integrity and functions of a tissue such as liver or brain.

Problems solved by technology

However, stem cells are not well retained in the organ targeted for tissue regeneration even when the stem cells are directly injected into the tissue of the injured organ.
However, splenectomy is also associated with surgical mortality, sepsis, and lifelong thrombotic complications (Blood Rev. 14(3):121-129, 2000; Leukemia.

[0226]Stem Cell Enriched Bone Marrow and Whole Blood Mononuclear Fractions Bind to B Cell Regions at the Edges of the White Pulp of the Spleen when Administered to an Allogeniec Mouse

[0227]Bone marrow and whole blood mononuclear cell fractions from a male 129S1 / SvlmJ mouse were isolated using Histopaque and combined. The cells were incubated at 37° C., 5% CO2 for 4 days to allow differentiated somatic cells to die off, thereby concentrating the stem cell fraction among the mononuclear cells. The resulting cells were then labeled with cell tracker orange (CTO Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Approximately 10 million labeled cells were administered by retro-orbital injection to a recipient litter mate, and 90 minutes later the mouse was exsanguinated and blood collected, the vasculature flushed of residual red blood cells, and the spleen harvested. The spleen was fixed overnight in 1% PFA and then embedded in low melting, low gelling temperature agarose and se...

CD34+, CD105+ and CD117+ Purified Stem Cells Bind to the Same Splenic Region as the Labeled MNC Stem Cell Containing Fractions.

[0229]Bone marrow and whole blood mononuclear cell fractions from a male mouse were isolated using Histopaque and combined. MNC cells labeled with cell tracker green (CTG, Invitrogen) were then incubated with biotin-labeled antibodies to CD34, ckit and CD 105 and purified using Miltenyi magnetic separation columns according to the manufacturer's recommendations. A portion of the isolated MNC were labeled separately with CTO. One million CTO-labeled MNC were co-incubated with 205,000 CTG labeled purified stem cells on 100-200 micron thick fresh spleen sections for 12-18 hours at 4° C. The spleen sections were thoroughly washed to remove unbound cells, fixed for one hour in 1% PFA and then wet mounted for fluorescent imaging. MetaMorph software was used to capture and overlay the resulting red (MNC) and green (stem cell) binding.

Bone Marrow and Whole Blood Mononuclear Fraction Stem Cells Bind to the PNA Positive Areas in the Germinal Centers of the Spleen

[0231]Bone marrow and whole blood mononuclear cells (MNC) are isolated from adult mice using Histopaque. The resulting mononuclear cells are stained with cell tracking dyes such as CellTracker Orange, Green or Blue, Dil, or Calcein Orange or Blue according to manufacturer's recommendations. FITC-labeled PNA (10 ugs), IgD (10 μgs) or anti-CD21 (10 μgs) are used to identify specific B cell regions in the white pulp of the spleen. PNA labels germinal centers, IgD labels follicular zones and anti-CD21 labels marginal and mantle zones. FITC-labeled anti-CD3 (200 ng to 1 μg) is used to identify T cell regions in the white pulp of the spleen. After thorough washing the bound cells and antibodies are fixed on the spleen sections using 1% PFA for 1 hour at 4° C. Wet mount sections are viewed for fluorescence and pictures taken using MetaMorph software.
