CD34 will be performed when HPC results fall in to "Indeterminate - grey zone". (HPC 5.4 – 17.2 cells/mcL – Indeterminate HPC result that did not meet negative or positive cutoffs in validation cohort. Correlate and be guided by CD34.) Refer to HPC testguide page for more information. (https://lab.waikatodhb.health.nz/test-guide/view/1342/hpc)
Or upon clinician's request.
CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells normally reside in the bone marrow where they account for 1-3% of normal mononuclear cells. They can however be mobilised into the peripheral blood after chemotherapy with the administration of hematopoietic growth factor. The CD34+ cells are capable of hematopoietic reconstitution and are preferred alternative to marrow in the autologous transplant setting.
