Young-Ho Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2014;57(3):110-116.   Published online March 31, 2014

Cord blood (CB) has been used as an important and ethical source for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) as well as cell therapy by manufacturing mesenchymal stem cell, induced pleuripotential stem cell or just isolating mononuclear cell from CB. Recently, the application of cell-based therapy using CB has expanded its clinical utility, particularly, by using autologous CB in children with...

Umbilical cord blood transplantation
Hong Hoe Koo, Hyo Seop Ahn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2012;55(7):219-223.   Published online July 17, 2012

Since the first umbilical cord blood transplantation (CBT) in 1998, cord blood (CB) has now become one of the most commonly used sources of hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation. CBT has advantages of easy procurement, no risk to donor, low risk of transmitting infections, immediate availability and immune tolerance allowing successful transplantation despite human leukocyte antigen disparity. Several studies have...

Clinical Analysis of Cord Serum Immunoglobulin M.
Duk Jin Yun, Kwang Ho Kim, Kwan Sub Chung, Gui Nyung Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1981;24(6):517-524.   Published online June 15, 1981
Determination of the immunoglobulin M(IgM) in umbilical cord sera has been advocated as a screening test for intrauterine infection, since the IgM is produced by the fetus and is not transported across the placenta from mother. The low level of IgM in normal neonate is thought to reflect the infrequent encounter of antigenic stimuli by the futus, upon exposure to...
