Abstract
Cord blood as a source of haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) has several advantages as it is easily available, involves non-invasive collection procedure and is better tolerated across the HLA barrier. Since the first cord blood transplant in 1988, over 2500 cord blood HSC transplants have been done world wide. The present study was carried out for collection, separation, enumeration and cryopreservation of cord blood HSC and establishing a Cord Blood HSC Bank. One hundred and forty four samples of cord blood HSC were collected after delivery of infant prior to expulsion of placenta. The average cord blood volume collected was 101.33ml. Mononuclear cell count ranged from 7.36 to 25.6 X 10 7/ml. Viability count of mononuclear cells was 98.4%. After 1 year of cryopreservation, the viability count on revival was over 82. 1 % . © 2002 by Indian Society of Hematology & Transfusion Medicine.
