What is the bone marrow transplant uses healthy bone marrow cells from a compatible donor such as a sibling?
Sometimes. In an allogeneic bone marrow transplant the bone marrow is taken from a donor and infused into a recipient. Usually the recipient has undergone intensive radiation therapy in order to wipe out the immune system so that it will not attack the foreign bone marrow cells (reject it) and the donor marrow has had some cells that would attack the recipient removed. In an autologous transplant bone marrow is removed from the patients, treated in some way, and then infused back into the patient. It can be frozen and saved while the patient undergoes some kind of therapy and then thawed and reinfused. In a syngeneic transplant marrow from one identical twin is infused into the other twin. This one is pretty cool because no treatment is needed to prevent rejection (but the recipient will probably still receive treatment for the disease.
