Allogeneic Human Cord Blood-derived Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells

**Semantic type:** Cell|Pharmacologic Substance

**Definition:** A preparation of allogeneic CD34-positive hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs), derived from cord blood (CB) and placenta of the donor, that can be used for transplantation purposes. Upon transplantation with the allogeneic human CB-derived HPCs, these cells migrate to the bone marrow to divide and mature. The mature cells are released into the bloodstream, where some circulate and others migrate to tissue sites, and differentiate into a variety of cell types. This improves and/or restores blood counts and function.
