24. A method for obtaining an enriched population of mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSPCs) using a size-based elutriation technique, wherein the size-based elutriation technique comprises flowing the sample obtained from a subject through a series of increasing flow rates in an elutriation device, and wherein each flow rate in the series of increasing flow rates collects a different population of cells in each flow rate fraction, the method comprising:
-
(1) acquiring a sample comprising CD34(−
)/CD133(−
)/CD45(−
)/CD73(+)/CD90(+)/CD105(+)/CD44(−
) cells from a mammal(2) flowing the sample at a first flow rate, wherein the first flow rate allows a first flow rate fraction comprising cells that are smaller than the mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSPCs) in the sample to flow through the elutriation device and to be collected in a first cell collection bag of the elutriation device; (3) increasing the first flow rate to a second flow rate, wherein the second flow rate allows a second flow rate fraction comprising the mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSPCs) in the sample to flow through the elutriation device and to be collected in a second cell collection bag of the elutriation device, and wherein the second flow rate fraction collected in the second cell collection bag comprises the enriched population of the mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSPCs); (4) recirculating the sample comprising non-retained cells through the elutriation apparatus; and (5) optionally increasing the second flow rate to a third flow rate, wherein the third flow rate allows a third flow rate fraction comprising cells that are larger than the mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSPCs) in the sample to flow through the elutriation device and to be collected in a third cell collection bag of the elutriation device. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 47)
