The low engraftment rate of stem/progenitor cells infused via the intracoronary route to the ischemic myocardium is one of the most important factors limiting the efficacy of cell therapy. We investigated the concept of priming peripheral blood stem cells enriched by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor mobilization and apheresis ((mob)PBSCs) with angiopoietin-1 (Ang1), to enhance the engraftment into the ischemic tissue and neovasculogenic potential.
