Uncontrolled‐rate freezing and storage at –80°C, with only3.5‐percent DMSO in cryoprotective solution for 109 autologous peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Although controlled-rate freezing and storage in liquid nitrogen are the standard procedure for peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) cryopreservation, uncontrolled-rate freezing and storage at -80 degrees C have been reported. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: The prospective evaluation of 109 autologous PBPC transplantations after uncontrolled-rate freezing and storage at -80 degrees C of apheresis products is reported. The cryoprotectant solution contained final concentrations of 1-percent human serum albumin, 2.5-percent hydroxyethyl starch, and 3.5-percent DMSO. RESULTS: With in vitro assays, the median recoveries of nucleated cells (NCs), CD34+ cells, CFU-GM, and BFU-E were 60.8 percent (range, 11.2-107.1%), 79.6 percent (6.3-158.1%), 35.6 percent (0.3-149.5%), and 32.6 percent (1.7-151.1%), respectively. The median length of storage was 7 weeks (range, 1-98). The median cell dose, per kg of body weight, given to patients after the preparative regimen was 6.34 x 10(8) NCs (range, 0.02-38.3), 3.77 x 10(6) CD34+ cells (0.23-58.5), and 66.04 x 10(4) CFU-GM (1.38-405.7). The median time to reach 0.5 x 10(9) granulocytes per L, 20 x 10(9) platelets per L, and 50 x 10(9) reticulocytes per L was 11 (range, 0-37), 11 (0-129), and 17 (0-200) days, respectively. Hematopoietic reconstitution did not differ in patients undergoing myeloablative or nonmyeloablative conditioning regimens before transplantation. CONCLUSION: This simple and less expensive cryopreservation procedure can produce successful engraftment, comparable to that obtained with the standard storage procedure.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
