Lot Information

Lot 1

The Welsh Bone Marrow Donor Registry (WBMDR) recruits volunteer donors via blood sample and cheek swab (buccal swab) to support stem cell transplantation. The WBMDR has different typing and testing requirements depending on sample type: For whole blood samples: We require Ultra High Resolution (UHR) HLA-A, B, C, DRB1, DQA1, DQB1, DPA1, DPB1 and DRB3/4/5 HLA typing. The provision of CCR5 testing from whole blood samples is desirable. For cheek swab samples: We require Ultra High Resolution (UHR) HLA-A, B, C, DRB1, DQA1, DQB1, DPA1, DPB1 and DRB3/4/5 HLA typing as well as ABO/Rh and CMV testing. The contractor must be able to deliver the HLA types and relevant testing results (see above) of at least 4,000 stem cell donors. The HLA typing must be performed using modern methodology such next generation sequencing and must comply with an accredited Standard, for example, EFI or ASHI (or an acceptable equivalent). The results of typing at HLA-A, B, C, DRB1, DQA1, DQB1, DPA1, DPB1 and DRB3/4/5 and associated ABO/RH, CMV and CCR5 testing will be added to the WBMDR panel of donors as part of the recommendations of the UK Stem Cell Strategic Forum to increase the number of UK patients finding an acceptable match within a clinically appropriate time-period.
