Abstract
We report a 42-year-old woman with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who received allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in the first remission from her 75-year-old, HLA-identical, MLC-nonreactive mother. Considering the difficulty to obtain a sufficient number of bone marrow cells from such an old donor, we harvested the cells (2.31×108/kg) on day -37 and cryopreserved them until use. BMT was performed on June 3rd, 1993 after conditioning regimen with total body irradiation, high-dose AraC and cyclophosphamide. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxisis was attempted by cyclosporin A and short-term methtrexate. Her hematopoietic recovery was favorable with no signs and symptoms of GVHD as far as day 218.
