  • Title: Mixed chimerism in thalassemic patients after bone marrow transplantation.
    Author: Nesci S, Manna M, Andreani M, Fattorini P, Graziosi G, Lucarelli G.
    Journal: Bone Marrow Transplant; 1992 Aug; 10(2):143-6. PubMed ID: 1525603.
    Abstract:
    Seventy-four patients with homozygous beta-thalassemia who underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) were analysed in order to evaluate the incidence and the significance of mixed chimerism (MC). Using a panel of four single locus specific minisatellite DNA probes, MC was found in 36.5%, 34.7% and 16.7% of the patients at 2, 6 and 12 months respectively after BMT. Moreover we found that different pretransplant conditioning regimens could be responsible for variations in the incidence of MC. The level of residual host cells found 2 months after BMT correlated with the occurrence of rejection.
