Abstract:
We studied on hematological parameters, lymphocytes distribution and stem cell (CD34 positive) count from cord blood of 43 healthy newborn at obstetrics department, Bach Mai hospital. The result showed that, stem cell count of cord blood is high (16.2% of nucleated cell, equal to 2.4+/- 0.3 G/l). this will be useful to allegoric stem cell transplantation. However, relatively high count of white cell (especially T lymphocyte) can be considerable to procedure and transplant result, free of graft versus host disease.
