Identifier : AIDSLINE ICA10/94369745
AB OBJECTIVE: To determine the safety of harvesting large quantities of
blood +/- bone marrow (BM) from asymptomatic HIV+ve patients. Cells were
collected and cryopreserved for subsequent reinfusion when the patient
progresses towards AIDS, with the aim of delaying disease onset.
METHODS: Blood mononuclear cells were collected from 50 patients by
leukapheresis. BM was also harvested from 6 patients. Blood samples were
obtained pre-, post-, and one month post-procedure. Statistical analysis
was performed using analysis of variance. RESULTS: Leukapheresis: Mean
+/- 1SD volume collected = 334 +/- 82 mls containing 13.2 +/- 4.4 x
10(9) nucleated cells of which 58.2 +/- 13.0% were lymphocytes. (NS =
not significant). TABULAR DATA, SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. CONCLUSION: Large
volumes of blood +/- BM can be harvested safely from asymptomatic HIV+ve
patients. Transient decreases are seen in %CD8, absolute CD4 & CD8, and
beta 2MG following leukapheresis, which resolve within one month.
