Article Title: Enrichment of peripheral blood stem cells in a primate model following administration of a single dose of rh-IL-1ß
Abstract: In a pre-clinical primate model, the effect of a single intravenous injection of rh-GM-CSF (50 mu g/kg), rh-IL3 (20 mu g/kg), rh-IL-1 beta (1 mu g/kg), rh-G-CSF (50 mu g/kg) and rh-pIXY 321 (50 mu g/kg) on peripheral blood mononuclear cell and hematopoietic stem cell concentration was determined, The results indicated that administration of a single dose of rh-IL-beta increased the concentrations of hematopoietic stem cells, including CFU-GM progenitors and precursors to CFU-GM, No toxicity was noted with this procedure. None of the remaining cytokines tested caused a significant increase in the peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell concentration when administered in this manner and only G-CSF caused an increase in peripheral blood mononuclear cell concentrations, Autologous transplantation with limiting numbers of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (1X10(7) cells/kg) collected either 24 or 72 h following injection of 1 mu g/kg rh-IL-1 beta conferred a survival advantage to recipients compared with controls, These results imply that a single intravenous administration of rh-IL-1 beta may increase the concentration of peripheral blood stem cells to levels sufficient for transplantation.
