Abstract
In Germany allotransplantation of bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells is presently performed by 34 different teams operating more or less independently. Thus, strategies of immunogenetic donor search, use of the various tissue typing techniques and policy on acceptable HLA mismatches in related and unrelated settings may vary considerably from one transplant centre to another. This paper summarises the results of the first German consensus meeting on immunogenetic donor search for bone marrow/peripheral blood stem cell grafting. The main goal of the participating transplant physicians and immunogeneticists was to define national standards for the above issues.
