Abstract
Transplantation of allogeneic stem cells has become a well established treatment for a variety of hematological malignancies including poor-risk acute leukemias [1]. This procedure has the highest probability of success if donor and recipient are closely HLA-matched. For patients without a suitable relative, one option is to identify an HLA-identical unrelated volunteer donor [2]. Despite the enormous polymorphism of HLA genes, the probability of finding a compatible unrelated donor is increasing since the international registries contain now more than 3.5 million HLA-typed volunteers. Shortening the time needed for the donor search has made unrelated donor bone marrow transplants (URD-BMT) a realistic alternative for the treatment of patients with acute leukemia. Five-hundred ninety-five URD-BMT were facilitated by the U.S. National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) for the treatment of acute leukemias between 1989 and 1993 [3].
