Autologous CD117+ Progenitor Cell Mobilization for Lung Transplantation

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the drug Plerixafor (Mozobil) can lead to clinically relevant efflux of CD117+ stem cells from the bone marrow to the peripheral blood of normal controls and patients awaiting lung transplantation. The investigator's hypothesis is that Plerixafor (Mozobil) will lead to significant mobilization of CD117+ stem cells to the peripheral blood.
