Extended duration between harvest and re-infusion of human bone marrow stored at room temperature

Bone Marrow Transplantation volume 20, pages 785–786 (1997)Cite this article

Abstract

A major limitation of unrelated bone marrow transplantation is the duration of time that is safe between harvest and re-infusion of the marrow. We have been able to demonstrate safe re-infusion of bone marrow kept at room temperature during transport, after almost 36 h. In vitro colony-forming assays suggest that stability may be as long as 5 days.
