Abstract

Focuses on a procedure for red blood cell (RBC) depletion and different cryoprotective solutions with or without rate-controlled freezing in an attempt to develop an inexpensive and simple method for processing and cryopreserving umbilical cord blood (UCB) hemopoietic cells. Cooling rate and concentration of the cryoprotectant; Analysis of RBC depletion by double gravity sedimentation and hyroxyethyl starch; Implications for UCB banks.
