Xenotransplant
Depends on what blood type the person receiving the transplant is. They have to be the same.
Yes, anyone can give anyone else an organ as long as everything is compatible, such as tissue and blood type.
This is bone marrow transplant. A compatible donor should be screen and crossmatch before they can perform the transplant.
Intestine transplants are the least common.
No, not always. They must have the same blood group (which is not guarenteed by being related) or a universal blood group, and the same tissue type (which is even less of a guarentee).
That was a heart transplant.
Type O is compatible with any other types (in that it can be donated to anyone). Type A is compatible ONLY with Type A and Type AB. Type B is compatible with itself and Type AB. Type AB is compatible with any of the others (it can receive from any of the other types).
An "allogenic" transplant is a human-to-human transplant. (A "xenogenic" transplant would be animal-to-human).
The first successful kidney transplant between identical twins.
Autologous = own marrow Allogeneic = transplant from a related (or tissue matched) donor. Syngeneic = transplant from an identical twin.
It can be. Like any other type of transplant, there are compatibility issues that need to be analyzed to determine compatibility. Cord blood from a non-relative (and a relative as well, the only time HLA-typing is not required is an autologeous transplant) will be HLA-typed to determine compatibility before any transplants are performed.
