Modelling Improvements in Cell Yield of Banked Umbilical Cord Blood and the Impact on Availability of Donor Units for Transplantation into Adults
Figure 1
Mean number of available UCB units with increased yield of cells surviving storage and thawing. Mean number of UCB units identified if patients weighed 50 kg (black), 70 kg (grey), and 90 kg (white). Mean number of units that were 6/6 HLA matched (a), 5/6 HLA matched (b), and 4/6 HLA-matched (c) are presented using the standard threshold criteria for unit selection (standard) and if there was a 10%, 20%, or 30% increase in the fraction of cells surviving storage and thawing. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean.
