    This study compares the efficacy and safety of single-dose Peg-G-CSF versus daily G-CSF for mobilizing peripheral blood stem cells in healthy donors.

  • 2

    Eighty-three percent of donors receiving Peg-G-CSF collected sufficient CD34+ cells, comparable to 79% in the G-CSF group after apheresis.

  • 3

    The peak circulating CD34+ cell count occurred on day 5 for both Peg-G-CSF and G-CSF groups, indicating similar mobilization timing.

  • 4

    No significant differences were found in side effects, engraftment, GVHD, or survival rates between recipients of stem cells from both donor groups.

  • 5

    The study suggests that Peg-G-CSF may provide a more convenient alternative to traditional G-CSF for stem cell mobilization.
