What is Mobilized Peripheral Blood (MPB)?
Mobilized Peripheral Blood is obtained from subjects who are infused with an agent (for example, G-CSF) to get their bone marrow stem cells into the blood circulation. The stem cells that enter the blood are similar to those taken from bone marrow. Mobilized Peripheral Blood cells are obtained by methods similar to blood donation. The stem cells are good for transfusion into subjects; this is known as `bone marrow stem cell transplantation’.
