What are the differences between Allogeneic and Autologous stem cell transplant?
Allogeneic stem cell transplant uses donor cells from a public cell bank. An autologous stem cell transplant uses the patient’s own stem cells. There are many advantages of autologous transplant including; no immune reaction and tissue rejection of the cells, no immunosuppressive therapy needed, and significantly reduced risk of communicable diseases. BioEDEN only offers an autologous transplant option.
