Definition

Cell banking is a service that isolates and cryopreserves a person's own cells, such as adipose SVF, for possible future use.

Quick answer

제대혈 줄기세포는 성체줄기세포인가요? 어디에 쓰이나요?

제대혈 줄기세포는 출산 때 탯줄과 태반에 남은 혈액에서 얻는 줄기세포입니다. 배아줄기세포가 아니라는 점에서 넓게는 성체(체성)줄기세포에 넣고, 출생 시점에 얻는다는 뜻에서 주산기 줄기세포로 따로 부르기도 합니다. 주성분은 혈액을 만드는 조혈모세포이며, 미국 FDA가 허가한 용도도 백혈병 등 조혈계 질환의 이식에 한정됩니다.

Private vs public bankingPrivate banks store cord blood for the child donor or first- or second-degree relatives. Public banks store donated units for unrelated patients.as of Mar 23, 2018[3]governmentCord Blood Banking - Information for ConsumersU.S. Food and Drug Administration
US regulation of private cord blood banksMust register with the FDA and follow donor screening, infectious disease testing and current good tissue practice rules.

Factors affecting SVF qualityLonger freezing periods and longer enzymatic digestion reduced viability, and storage temperature itself had little effect.

Overview

Cell banking (셀뱅킹) is a service that cryopreserves a person's own cells or tissue, such as umbilical cord blood or adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF), for possible later use. Private (family) banks store cells for the donor or relatives for a fee, while public banks hold donated cord blood for unrelated patients. In the US, private cord blood banks must register with the FDA and follow donor-testing and tissue-practice rules. Registration does not mean the FDA endorses the bank. The only FDA-approved stem cell products are cord blood-derived blood-forming cells for blood disorders. In Korea, family cord blood banks need a health ministry licence, and cell processing needs MFDS approval. Studies report that the quality of frozen SVF varies with processing and storage time. Readers should check the bank's licences and which regulated uses actually exist.
