BACKGROUND: Increasing numbers of unrelated hematopoietic stem cell grafts are transported internationally and evaluated concurrently in different laboratories. The graft quality assessment using the CD34(+) enumeration could be influenced by inter-laboratory variability. METHODS: 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. RESULTS: The percentage and the total CD34(+) content correlated well in both observed periods (CD34(+)%: r=0.899 and r=0.922; CD34(+)×10(8)/kg: r=0.966 and r=0.880; p<0.0001). Median CD34(+) percentages obtained in our centre in comparison with other laboratories were 0.54% vs. 0.46% in 2003-2004 and 0.69% vs. 0.70% in 2007-2010 period. The degree of laboratory compliance was affected by the laboratory identity. CD34(+) percentage reported by one laboratory and CD34(+)×10(8)/kg reported by three from twelve laboratories lacked statistically significant correlation with our own data. CONCLUSIONS: The study documented that results of CD34(+) cell dose assessment of the same grafts reported by different transplant centers are comparable. The graft quality data and the CD34(+) enumeration possess a limited level of inter-laboratory variability.
