title: Transplantation of major AB0-incompatible bone marrow: removal of red cells by dextrane sedimentation.
abstract: The elimination of erythrocytes by dextran sedimentation is a useful method to prevent haemolytic complications after AB0-incompatible bone marrow transplantation. The procedure presented here lasts only 1.5-2 hours, is high reproducible and safe in respect of infections. The mean recovery of nucleated cells amounted to 94%. The contamination with erythrocytes is low (recovery 1.1%). We have never seen haemolytic reactions during 7 AB0-incompatible bone marrow transplantations.
