Abstract

In this issue of Blood, Stevens and colleagues report that in single cord blood (CB) transplantations, donor-recipient human leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatches in the graft-versus-host only (GVH-O) direction produce engraftment and survival comparable to HLA-matched CB units and are significantly better than units mismatched in the rejection-only (R-O) direction.
