Allogeneic definition

Allogeneic means the treatment of a patient with human cells derived from a donor other than the patient, where such donor is genetically non-identical. “Allogeneic” does not include the treatment of a patient with human cells derived from such patient’s own cells (autologous treatment).

Allogeneic means transplantation between genetically non-identical individuals of the same species.

Allogeneic the term ‘allo-’ means ‘other’. An allogeneic stem cell transplantation involves the transfer of stem cells from a healthy donor to a patient who has received ablative or conditioning treatment. Special tests are done to see if a donor’s stem cells are a good match for a recipient. A brother or sister is most likely to be a good match. Sometimes parents, children, and other relatives are good matches. Unrelated donors who are not related to the recipient, yet still match, may be found through national bone marrow registries
