Why Choose CGT Global Mobilized Leukopaks?

Extensive, Well-Characterized Mobilized Donor Network

Access G-CSF and plerixafor-mobilized donors screened under IRB-approved protocols. Each donor profile includes deep demographic, phenotypic, and HLA data, along with mobilization regimen details and cell yield history.
Whether you’re scaling CAR T, NK, or stem cell programs, our mobilized donor pool ensures you receive high-yield, reproducible starting material with complete transparency.

Donor Recallability

When reproducibility is essential, we make it possible to re-collect mobilized material from the same donor.
This allows your team to perform batch-to-batch validation, assess mobilization response consistency, and standardize your production workflow — minimizing biological variability in translational studies.

Three FDA-Registered, CLIA-Certified Facilities

Our bi-coastal collection network supports mobilized leukapheresis at FDA-registered, CLIA-certified sites near major biotech and cell therapy hubs.
This infrastructure enables rapid scheduling, shorter donor prep times, and localized fulfillment for time-sensitive mobilized collections.

Same-Day Collection & Shipping

Mobilized leukopaks are collected and shipped the same day, preserving peak viability and CD34+ integrity.
Our logistics protocols maintain temperature control and chain-of-custody compliance from donor to lab, ensuring your mobilized starting material arrives fresh, verified, and ready for isolation.

Integrated Supply Chain

CGT Global oversees every stage of mobilized collection — from donor recruitment through G-CSF/plerixafor administration to final delivery.
By eliminating third-party dependencies, we maintain full visibility and quality control, shorten lead times, and remove uncertainty from the supply chain.

Dedicated Client Service Associate Support

Each mobilized project is managed by a dedicated Client Scientific Associate (CSA) who coordinates donor scheduling, documentation, and shipping.
Your CSA provides real-time updates throughout mobilization, collection, and shipment, ensuring your material is delivered on time, compliant, and exactly as specified.

What Are Mobilized Leukopaks?

Mobilized leukopaks are specialized peripheral blood collections obtained through apheresis after healthy donors receive pharmacologic agents such as granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) or plerixafor (Mozobil®).
This controlled process, known as stem cell mobilization, stimulates the bone marrow to release hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) into circulation. The result is a higher concentration of CD34+ stem cells and total nucleated cells (TNCs) compared to standard, non-mobilized leukopaks.

Mobilized leukopaks deliver significant performance advantages:

  • Up to 10× greater CD34+ cell yield

  • More consistent donor profiles and reproducible lots

  • Fewer isolations to reach target cell counts

  • Superior viability after shipping or cryopreservation

Mobilization is performed under IRB-approved, medically supervised protocols to ensure donor safety and consistent outcomes.
Donors may receive G-CSF over several days, plerixafor as a rapid single-dose regimen, or a combination mobilization program for maximal yield.
Collections are scheduled at peak mobilization and processed immediately to preserve cellular integrity and function.

Because of their high CD34+ and immune cell content, mobilized leukopaks are the preferred starting material for cell and gene therapy, including CAR T-cell manufacturing, NK-cell expansion, gene editing, and regenerative medicine research.
By combining enhanced yields with reproducible performance, CGT Global Mobilized Leukopaks enable scientists to scale advanced cell-based therapies with confidence.

Mobilization Methods

G-CSF Mobilization

G-CSF (filgrastim) is the most established mobilizing agent used to expand HSPCs and myeloid lineage cells.
Donors typically receive subcutaneous G-CSF injections for 4–5 days prior to collection.

Advantages:

  • Proven and well-tolerated

  • Produces high CD34+ and monocyte counts

  • Suitable for CAR T, NK, and DC vaccine research

Typical timeline:

  • Day 1–4: Daily G-CSF injections (dose based on body weight)

  • Day 5: Leukapheresis performed at peak mobilization

  • Post-collection: Mild, temporary side effects (bone ache, fatigue) typically resolve within 24–48 hours

Plerixafor Mobilization

Plerixafor (AMD3100, Mozobil®) blocks CXCR4 binding in bone marrow niches, rapidly releasing HSPCs into circulation.
It’s often used alone or combined with G-CSF.

Advantages:

  • Faster mobilization (within 24 hours)

  • Enriches for multipotent progenitors

  • Ideal for short-notice research timelines

Typical timeline:

  • Day 1: Single subcutaneous dose of plerixafor

  • 8–12 hours later: Leukapheresis collection performed

  • Can be used alone or added to G-CSF to boost yields

Combination Mobilization (G-CSF + Plerixafor)

Combining both agents offers synergistic effects, producing the highest possible CD34+ yields and optimal leukocyte distribution.
This hybrid approach is preferred for high-demand applications requiring maximum recovery.

Typical timeline:

  • Days 1–4: Daily G-CSF injections

  • Day 5 (morning): Plerixafor injection

  • Day 5 (evening): Apheresis performed at peak circulating stem cell count

Benefits:

  • Highest achievable CD34+ and TNC levels

  • Reduced donor-to-donor variability

  • Often used for high-demand cell therapy programs

Cryopreserved Mobilized Leukopaks

Cryopreserved units provide long-term availability for planned experiments or batch standardization.

Advantages:

  • Long shelf life

  • Consistent COA metrics

  • Convenient for repeat studies or multi-site programs

Applications of Mobilized Leukopaks

Mobilized leukopaks serve as premium source material for:

  • CAR T and TCR T cell development

  • NK cell expansion and functional assays

  • CD34+ stem/progenitor isolation

  • Dendritic cell vaccine research

  • Gene editing, CRISPR, and reprogramming studies

  • Assay standardization and QC benchmarking

These collections are particularly useful when your downstream process depends on cell purity, reproducibility, and scalability.
