Abstract

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (r-met Hu G-CSF; filgrastim; 10 μg/kg/day for 7 days) was used to mobilize CD34+stem cells into the peripheral blood of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected individuals and a group of HIV-1-uninfected donors as a measure of immunologic reserve in HIV-1-infected people. G-CSF mobilized CD34+ cells of HIV-1-infected individuals with cell counts >500 CD4+ cells/mm3, as well as in HIV-1-uninfected donors. In contrast, CD34+ cell mobilization was significantly blunted in HIV-1-infected individuals with cell counts <500 CD4+ cells/mm3 (<200 cell days vs. >650 cell days, P < .0005, compared with the >500 CD4+ cell cohort). At least 1.75 x 107 CD34+ cells were harvested by leukapheresis from patients in each study cohort. CD34+ cell viability and the ability to differentiate precursor cells into myeloid and erythroid progenitor cells were not affected by HIV-1 infection.
