Abstract

A 43-year-old woman with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) positive chronic myelogenous leukemia in acute phase received high-dose chemotherapy followed by transfusion of 12 randomly selected units of umbilical cord blood. HLA analysis showed cells of one donor from day +10 to day +43 post-transfusion. This unit was HLA class II identical with that of the patient.
