METHOD OF SEPARATING LEUKOCYTE CONCENTRATE, WHICH CONTAINS HEMOPOETIC STEM CELLS, FROM UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A61K35/14 A61K35/44 A61P35/00 C12N15/08 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method related to field of medicine, namely to transfusiology. Method includes collecting umbilical cord blood (UCB) into container, weighing it with calculation of its volume, determining type of human leukocyte antigen for comparing hypocompatibility, presence or absence of infection, introduction into packet with UCB, anticoagulant and hydroxyethyl starch, mechanical mixing of packet content in various planes, incubation after mixing at room temperature with separation of erythrocyte mass (EM) by sedimentation, placement of centrifuge chamber in separator, connecting to it on symmetry axis main pipeline, the latter being connected via distribution unit via pipelines to sacks for collection of blood components and to packet with mixture of UCB, anticoagulant and hydroxyethyl starch. After that, chamber is filled with packet content, and mixture is subjected to separation, with its separation into EM, plasma and leukocyte concentrate with their distribution into corresponding sacks and into empty packet. After separation, viability and amount of SC are determined, they are checked on biological inoculation of sample of plasma and EM mixture, dose of plasma is tested for detection of antibodies, hemotransmissive infections, dose of EM is used to determine blood group and Rhesus factor.

EFFECT: method application makes it possible to increase quality and reliability of determining SM from various biological contaminations.
