Human leucocyte antigen matching and donor selection for sibling bone marrow transplantation in India
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fifty one patients undergoing treatment for various diseases and disorders (leukaemia of different type, thallasaemia and anaemia) at Kothari Medical Centre, Kolkata and awaiting bone-marrow transplant, and their siblings were studied for their Human Leucocytes Antigen (HLA) compatibility. Forty of these patients had siblings available as probable donors. In eleven cases, planned pregnancy and testing the chorionic villi sample (CVS) was adopted. The study revealed that the probability of finding a full house match was greater with larger sib-ship size tested: 63% with three available sibling donors, 43% with two and 36% with only one sibling available. CVS donors also showed full house match in 36% of the cases. Five of the families were studied for HLA –A*, B* compatibility as well. When the DRB1* locus was a probable homozygous, HLA A* and B* typing revealed their incompatibility.

Allogeneic haemopoietic stem cell transplantation in children: what alternative donor should we choose when no matched sibling is available?
Allogeneic haemopoietic stem cell transplantation has provided curative therapy for life-threatening malignant and non-malignant diseases in children for over 40 years. Only 25% of children in whom an allograft is indicated have the ideal option of a human leucocyte antigen-identical sibling donor. Substantial advances in the use of alternative donors (unrelated volunteer donors, haploidentical...
متن کاملDonor Selection for Allogenic Hemopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Clinical and Ethical Considerations
Allogenic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an established treatment for many diseases. Stem cells may be obtained from different sources: mobilized peripheral blood stem cells, bone marrow, and umbilical cord blood. The progress in transplantation procedures, the establishment of experienced transplant centres, and the creation of unrelated adult donor registries and...
متن کاملMolecular typing shows a high level of HLA class I incompatibility in serologically well matched donor/patient pairs: implications for unrelated bone marrow donor selection.
In comparison with HLA-matched sibling bone marrow transplants, unrelated donor transplants are associated with increased graft-versus-host disease and graft failure. This is likely in part due to HLA incompatibilities not identified by current matching strategies. High resolution DNA-based typing methods for HLA class II loci have improved donor selection and treatment outcome in unrelated don...

SUMMARY Up to 15 years ago, bone marrow transplantation was experimental, but in the recent years it has gained an important role in the field of Medicine, and it has clearly been established as a therapeutic modality for a wide range of diseases. During 1950-1955 when marrow transplant was first attempted in human, little was known about transplant antigens. Supportive care techniques such...
متن کاملMultiple minor histocompatibility antigen disparities between a recipient and four HLA-identical potential sibling donors for bone marrow transplantation.
A patient with acute leukemia and her family including four HLA-identical siblings were analyzed to select a donor who was not only HLA- but also minor histocompatibility (mH) antigen compatible for allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The HLA-A2 restricted mH antigen-specific HA-1, -2, -4, and -5 cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) clones were used to type the family members for expression o...
