Laboratory procedures used to select an unrelated HLA matched bone marrow donor.
Selecting an HLA matched unrelated bone marrow donor is a labour-intensive step-by-step procedure, with highly specialized techniques. To be successful immunohematologists and clinicians have to work closely together. Because so much is still unknown lymphocytes and serum of patient and donor should be stored to enable future analyses.
