The biology of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) is a current topic of interest which has important implications for clinical HSC transplantation as well as for the basic research of HSC. The most primitive HSCs in mammals, including mice and humans, have long been believed to be CD34 antigen (Ag)-positive (CD34(+)) cells. In fact, bone marrow (BM), peripheral blood (PB), and cord blood (CB) stem cell transplantation studies indicate that a CD34(+) subpopulation in the BM, PB, or CB can provide durable long-term donor-derived lymphohematopoietic reconstitution. Therefore, CD34 Ag was used to identify/purify immature HSCs. However, Osawa et al. reported that murine long-term lymphohematopoietic reconstituting HSCs are lineage marker-negative (Lin(-)) c-kit(+)Sca-1(+)CD34-low/negative (CD34(low/-)), which are called CD34(low/-) KSL cells. Recently, human CB-derived CD34(-) HSCs, a counterpart of murine CD34(low/-) KSL cells, were successfully identified using an intra-bone marrow injection (IBMI) method. This review will update the concept of the immunophenotype and the functional characteristics of human primitive CD34(-) HSCs. In addition, the significance of the application of the EBMI technique in clinical HSC transplantation is also discussed. Recent rapid advances in understanding the biological nature of HSCs may make it possible to fully characterize the most primitive class of human HSCs in the near future. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
