Abstract

In accordance with various aspects of the invention, CXCR4 antagonists may be used to treat hematopoietic cells, such as progenitor or stem cells, to promote the rate of cellular multiplication, self-renewal, proliferation or expansion. CXCR4 antagonists may be used therapeutically to stimulate hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell multiplication/self-renewal.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A method of promoting the rate of hematopoietic cell multiplication, comprising administering an effective amount of a CXCR4 antagonist to hematopoietic cells.  
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the hematopoietic cells are hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells.  
     
     
         3 . A method of increasing the circulation of hematopoietic cells in a patient in need of such treatment, comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of a CXCR4 antagonist to mobilize the hematopoietic cells from a marrow locus to a peripheral blood locus.  
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising introducing a heterologous gene into the hematopoietic cells for gene therapy.  
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the hematopoietic cells are ex vivo.  
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the hematopoietic cells are in vivo.  
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the hematopoietic cells are selected from the group consisting of hematopoietic stem cells and hematopoietic progenitor cells (including CFU-GEMM, BFU-E, CFU-Meg, CFU-GM, CFU-M/DC CFU-Eo, CFU-Bas, Pro-B cells and lymphoid stem cells), that are known to differentiate into mature myeloid and lympoid blood cells, including erythrocytes, platelets, neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells (myeloid and lymphoid related), eosinophils, basophils, mast cells, B cells. and T cells.  
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the CXCR4 antagonist comprises a CXCR4 antagonist peptide.  
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the CXCR4 antagonist peptide is selected from the group consisting of:
