Popis: Six patients received an allogeneic bone marrow transplant from HLA-identical ABO-mismatched donors. ABO genotype of erythroid burst-forming units (BFU-E) from peripheral blood was analyzed using polymerase chain reaction with sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP). After bone marrow transplantation (BMT), engraftment of donor cells by ABO genotypic analysis of BFU-E was compared with ABO phenotypic analysis of red blood cells (RBCs). During the early stage after BMT, ABO genotype of BFU-E in the recipients converted to that of the donors. In contrast, mixed ABO phenotype of RBCs persisted for about 3 months. In one patient, autologous hemopoietic cell recovery was detected by the ABO genotypic analysis before clinical manifestation. ABO genotypic analysis of BFU-E is relevant for enagraftment after ABO-mismatched BMT.
