PG - 78-83 AB - In October, 1989, the Tokai Marrow Donor Bank (TMDB) was established through the cooperation of patients' families, the branches of blood centers of Japanese Red Cross and the hematologists' group in Tokai Area (Aichi, Shizuoka, Gifu and Mie Prefectures) in Japan to facilitate the procurement of suitable marrow from unrelated volunteer donors for patients lacking related donors. The number of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A, B typed donors totaled 3,083 and the number of patients registered for donor search totaled 1,415 by June 1992, when the activities of TMDB were transferred to the newly created Japan Marrow Donor Program (JMDP), and 55 transplanations from unrelated donors facilitated by TMDD were performed.
