ALLOGENIC UNRELATED -
Adjective: Genetically unlike and not from a family member. Referring to bone marrow transplants, the bone marrow bank has lists of individuals who have donated bone marrow and when a bone marrow transplant is needed, the genetic similarities are compared using the Class 1 and Class 2 tissue typing with those on record at these banks and a match is made. There is a greater chance of getting Graft-Versus-Host disease when allogenic unrelated bone marrow is used.

Greek - àllos = other
