Can a bone marrow transplant change the DNA of the new blood cells?
Sort of... Assuming there is no GVHD and the bone marrow transplant is successful, a blood test will show what percent of the recipient's blood is their own blood and what percent of the recipient's blood was produced from the donor's bone marrow. If the test comes back ">95%", then the recipient's blood and the donor's blood have become DNA-identical. Interestingly enough, the recipient's hair and saliva remain the same DNA they were born with. Their hair and saliva do NOT change to the donor's DNA. So, the recipient of the bone marrow transplant would then have two DNA's in their body. Neat stuff!
If you were a blood DONOR and you wanted to donate your blood do they test your blood again?
Yes. Before they take your blood, they will do a fingerprick test to see if you have enough iron in your blood. If you are anaemic, they won't take your blood. After they have taken your donation of blood, it is put through several tests in the laboratory before the blood is used. The lab tests will check for infectious diseases that could infect the person receiving the donated blood.
