    A low CD34+ cell dose results in higher mortality and poorer survival after blood or marrow stem cell transplantation from HLA-identical siblings: should 2 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg be considered the minimum threshold?

    We studied the effect of the CD34+ cell dose on transplant-related mortality (TRM) and survival in 39 patients randomized to receive lenograstim-mobilized PBSCT (n= 20) or BMT (n = 19) from HLA-identical siblings...
