title: Ratio of blood and marrow-derived cells in bone marrow transplantation.
abstract: The content of the cell suspensions used in bone marrow transplantation can vary by at least twelvefold in the ratio of bone marrow-derived to blood-derived cells. The ratio is somewhat higher in young donors but is similar for male and female donors and is not closely correlated with the incidence of graft v host reactions.
