Marrow transplantation for juvenile osteopetrosis

The American Journal of Medicine
M SorellR J O'Reilly

Abstract

Two children with the juvenile form of osteopetrosis were treated with marrow transplants from their HLA identical siblings. Following transplantation each child exhibited extensive bone reabsorption with a marked augmentation of osteoclastic function attributable to donor osteoclasts, including remodeling of bone with expansion of intramedullary hematopoiesis and correction of associated abnormalities of thymic factor and natural killer cells. Osteopetrosis ultimately recurred in one patient in whom engraftment of donor hematopoietic elements was not achieved. Our studies indicate that marrow transplantation will correct osteopetrosis but that permanent reconstitution necessitates sustained engraftment of marrow precursors of cells with osteoclastic activity.

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.
