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.
