Abstract:
Using a fluorochrome Calcein-AM, leukemia cells were labeled and seeded into cell lines or bone marrow cells to establish three cell-models of grafts with leukemia. These cell-models were engaged with CD34 immunomagnetic beads and the purging efficacy was evaluated using both fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. The results showed that the cell-models established in this study could be evaluated successfully not only with fluorescence microscopy but also flow cytometry. After CD34 positive selection, KG1a cells were removed by (0.98 +/- 0.09) log in model II and NALM-6 cells were removed by (1.82 +/- 0.51) log in model III, respectively. It is concluded that the models established in this study are stable and direct with an excellent reproducibility and an accuracy, which can be used to evaluate purging efficacy of leukemia cells in model graft using immunomagnetic selection and the experimental studies on tumorcidal effect in vitro.
