title: Comparison of human long-term bone marrow cultures (HLTBMCs) established from fresh and post-cryopreservation bone marrow samples from living and cadaver donors.
abstract: Human long-term bone marrow cultures (HLTBMCs) were established from thawed post-cryopreservation, as well as from cadaver donor bone marrow (BM) samples. The longevity was similar in the different series of HLTBMCs examined. CFU-GM could be cultured out of cadaver donor BM. This indicates that previously healthy people, under the conditions generally accepted as suitable for organ donation, could become suitable donors for allogeneic BM transplantation.
