Allogeneic marrow transplantation: the Seattle experience

Clinical Transplants

Abstract

Allogeneic marrow transplantation from a normal donor provides potential life-saving therapy for a variety of inherited and acquired diseases of the hematopoietic system. Donor selection is a major issue, and most marrow transplants have been done only when an HLA-identical sibling donor has been available. Successful transplants can be done from partially HLA-matched relatives, but graft failure, graft rejection, and GvHD become increasingly serious complications as the number of HLA incompatibilities increase. More recently it has been shown that marrow transplants from HLA-identical unrelated donors can be successful. The recent development of a National Marrow Donor Program to recruit large numbers of HLA-typed volunteers and to facilitate the unrelated donor search process promises to make marrow transplants available to a growing number of patients.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease with approximately 20,000 cases per year in the United States. AML also accounts for 15-20% of all childhood acute leukemias, while it is responsible for more than half of the leukemic deaths in these patients. Here is the latest research on this disease.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
