[Tests for donors of cord blood and bone marrow]

To date blood transfusion is considered to be one of tissue or organ transplantation. In the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, donors of bone marrow, peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) or cord blood should be tested to keep safety of donors and patients. Donors of PBSC, cord blood and bone marrow should be selected on the results of HLA class I and class II. Furthermore, donors of bone marrow should be tested for general anesthesia in order to keep safety of donors. In the present paper, we described the lists of tests for patients and donors of blood, PBSC, cord blood and bone marrow before and after stem cell transplantation.
