Abstract excerpt
Contamination of cord blood (CB) specimens by maternal blood provides a source of cells that may be capable of graft-versus-host reactivity. To confirm the genetic purity of collected CB samples (six samples, volume 110 +/- 21 ml, total nucleated cells 1.22 +/- 0.36 x 10(9)) the HLA-DR beta exon...
