The Tokai Bone Marrow Bank was established in 1989 and coordinated 1,415 patients with 3,000 HLA-A, B-typed donors. Of the 1,415 patients, 757 patients had HLA-A, B-identical donors, 206 patients had HLA-DR-identical donors, and 80 patients had MLC-compatible donors. Finally, 55 unrelated donor bone marrow transplantations were done. The most frequent reason of interruption in coordination was disagreement of donor's family. We sent several questions by mail around 1 month after the donation to 55 donors to analyze the psychological reactions of unrelated bone marrow donors to donation. Donors were generally quite positive about the donation. 92% of the donors felt it was worthwhile and no one felt it was not at all worthwhile. 73% of the donors would be willing to donate again in the future. 79% of donors would like to know the clinical course of the patient after the bone marrow transplantation. We hope that these results may be helpful in the development of the Japan Marrow Donor Program.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

D006650 Histocompatibility Testing Identification of the major histocompatibility antigens of transplant DONORS and potential recipients, usually by serological tests. Donor and recipient pairs should be of identical ABO blood group, and in addition should be matched as closely as possible for HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in order to minimize the likelihood of allograft rejection.
