Haploidentical bone marrow transplant

Haploidentical bone marrow transplant is a type of stem cell transplant that involves using stem cells from a donor who is a half-match for the recipient. In a haploidentical transplant, the donor is typically a family member, such as a parent, child, or sibling, who shares only half of the recipient's human leukocyte antigen (HLA) tissue type. 

HLA markers are proteins on the surface of cells that are used to identify the body's own cells and tissues from foreign cells and tissues. The closer the HLA match between the donor and recipient, the lower the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a common complication of allogeneic stem cell transplants in which the donor's immune cells attack the recipient's body. 

In a haploidentical transplant, the donor's stem cells are collected and then treated to remove T-cells, which are the immune cells that can cause GVHD. This process is called T-cell depletion, and it reduces the risk of GVHD in the recipient. 

After T-cell depletion, the donor's stem cells are infused into the recipient's bloodstream, where they travel to the bone marrow and begin to create new blood cells. The recipient will receive high-dose chemotherapy or radiation therapy prior to the transplant to destroy any remaining cancer cells and make room for the donor's stem cells.
