Histocompatibility and immunogenetics in cord blood transplantation.
This review of the immunogenetics of cord blood transplantation attempts to highlight the connections between classical studies and conclusions of the tissue transplantation field as a scholarly endeavor, exemplified by the work of Professor Hoecker, with the motivations and some recent and key results of clinical cord blood transplantation. The authors review the evolution of understanding of ...
متن کاملImmunogenetics and the major histocompatibility complex.
The poultry immune system is a complex system involving many different cell types and soluble factors that must act in concert to give rise to an effective response to pathogenic challenge.

The subject of immunogenetics is not a simple one even (or especially) for workers in the field, and this book is not one that can be scanned quickly. Yet Dr. Lengerova writes clearly and advances her discussion logically from basic conceptual and historical aspects, through the topography and immunochemistry of mouse H-2 antigens into the complexities of tumor antigens and parent-hybrid incomp...
متن کاملUmbilical cord blood transplantation.
Interest in umbilical cord blood as an alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells is growing rapidly. Umbilical cord blood offers the clinician a source of hematopoietic stem cells that are readily available and rarely contaminated by latent viruses. Moreover, the collection of umbilical cord blood poses no risk to the donor; there is no need for general anesthesia or blood replacement, and...
متن کاملUmbilical cord blood transplantation
Since the first umbilical cord blood transplantation (CBT) in 1998, cord blood (CB) has now become one of the most commonly used sources of hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation. CBT has advantages of easy procurement, no risk to donor, low risk of transmitting infections, immediate availability and immune tolerance allowing successful transplantation despite human leukocyte antigen disp...
