Method of treating a hematopoietic associated disease or disorder with plasma-depleted, but not erythrocyte-depleted cord blood compositions
First Claim
1. A method for treating a malignant disease or benign disorder associated with the hematopoietic system, said method comprising:
- administering to a mammalian subject an effective amount of a composition comprising anticoagulated, plasma-depleted umbilical cord blood and a cryoprotectant,wherein the anticoagulated plasma-depleted umbilical cord blood is not depleted in red blood cells when compared to whole blood umbilical cord blood,wherein the anticoagulated plasma-depleted umbilical cord blood is at least 50% red blood cells by volume, andwherein the anticoagulant is about 5% to about 40% by volume of the plasma-depleted umbilical cord blood.

Abstract
The umbilical cord blood (UCB) compositions of the present invention possess the unique features of having plasma that is substantially depleted from the UCB unit and red blood cells (RBC) that are not depleted from the UCB unit. Such UCB units can be prepared by a process that combines plasma depletion with cryopreservation, selection, thawing, and/or transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells to provide superior clinical outcome by maximizing post-processing cell recovery and post-thaw infusion cell dose. Methods for treating a wide variety of malignant diseases and benign diseases associated with the hematopoietic system by administering the UCB compositions of the present invention are also provided.
