CD34(+) cell content in unrelated allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell grafts transported internationally. Does the inter-laboratory variability affect comparability of graft quality data?

Abstract
We retrospectively analyzed the content of CD34+ cells in 154 consecutive collections being performed in different transplant centers during two periods (2003-2004, 2007-2010). All samples were tested twice in our own and partner laboratories.
CD34+ percentage and absolute number were compared.
