CHARACTERIZATIONS OF DISEASE BMMCS

  • Multiparametric immunophenotyping by flow cytometry tailored to the specific disease indication. For more information see Technical Data Sheets for AML and MM specific panels.
  • HLA Typing: Diseased BMMCs are typed for HLA-A02 via flow cytometry.
  • Patient Demographics: Age, sex, ethnicity, weight, height, smoking status, and alcohol history are available for diseased BMMCs samples.
  • Pathology Report: Confirmation of diagnosis, donor demographic data, date of procedure, and if applicable, current and previous treatments, stage, grade, comorbidities, current medications, and lab values.

Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells Product Details

Disease BMMCs

  • Composed of both normal and malignant cells
  • Immunophenotypes of malignant cells are readily identified by flow cytometry
  • Isolated via density gradient centrifugation
  • Cryopreserved in 90% heat-inactivated FBS +10% DMSO and use sodium heparin as an anticoagulant
  • Cell counts and viability are determined using AOPI staining on a Nexcelom Cellometer
 

Normal BMMCs

  • Collected via elective bone marrow aspirates from fully consented healthy donors following IRB approved protocols
  • Isolated via density gradient centrifugation
  • Cryopreserved in 90% heat-inactivated FBS +10% DMSO and use sodium heparin as an anticoagulant
  • Cell counts and viability are determined using AOPI staining on a Nexcelom Cellometer
 

BMMC Matched Sets

Our Discovery Partners® network allows for large-scale, prospective collections of high-quality matched sample sets of human biospecimens. 

Each matched sample set is provided with the base clinical data from the patient case, along with redacted pathology information.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are the cell counts and viabilities of BMMCs determined?

Cell counts and viability are determined using AOPI staining on a Nexcelom Cellometer.

How is post-thaw cell count and viability performed?
Cryopreserved vials of BMMCs are pulled from vapor phase LN2 freezers, thawed, and assessed on a Nexcelom Cellometer.
What are the recommended storage conditions for the cryopreserved BMMCs?
All live-cell products should be stored in the vapor phase of LN2 until thawed for use.
How are Blast percentages determined?
Discovery BMMCs provide post-thaw blast (CD45lo) and plasma cell (CD138+CD38+) counts via flow cytometry. Additionally, blast percentages are taken from the diagnostic Bone Marrow report obtained from the patient's electronic medical record.
How are BMMCs processed?
  • You can find our protocols by clicking the links below:
  • We also have the ability to follow our clients' custom processing protocols and help them develop new processing protocols based on their needs.
Are blast percentages available for diseased PBMC and BMMC samples?
Diseased PBMC and BMMC samples are occasionally collected at a different date from the initial sample utilized to establish blast percentages. Therefore, DLS is unable to guarantee blast percentages in diseased samples. However, for AML and multiple myeloma BMMCs, DLS performs flow cytometry following cryopreservation to characterize blast percentages, and these results are available to aid in sample selection.
