What is Allogeneic BMT?

‘Allogeneic’ BMT means transplantation of blood or bone marrow cells from

"another individual’’.

Who needs an Allogeneic BMT?

Patients whose disease primarily involves the bone marrow:

Patients whose disease does not involve the bone marrow, but the

disease is susceptible to a GVT effect

Patients whose disease does not involve the bone marrow, but is due to

inherited deficiency of certain key enzymes which are produced by

certain bone marrow derived cells

How is a Donor selected for Allogeneic BMT

Donors for Allogeneic BMT are selected based on matching of HLA

antigens between the donor and the recipient.

The HLA antigens are inherited as a set of 5 antigens from each parent

called a ‘Haplotype’. If both the haplotypes are matched between the

donor and the recipient (patient), the donor is called a ‘Fully matched

Donor’.

If one haplotype is matched between the patient and the donor, they are

calledHAPLOIDENTICAL. Such a donor can only be selected from within

the family.
