First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for providing a stem cell unit in an allogeneic stem cell bank for a potential recipient, said method comprising:
- (i) providing a plurality of stem cell units having been typed to form an allogeneic stem cell bank having a plurality of typed stem cell units;
(ii) providing a record for each of said plurality of typed stem cell units;
(iii) providing typing for a potential recipient, said potential recipient having a type identifier;
(iv) storing said record for each of said plurality of typed stem cell units and said type identifier in a database;
(v) comparing said type identifier with said record for each of said plurality of typed stem cell units to find a matched stem cell unit; and
(vi) storing said matched stem cell unit in said database for said potential recipient'"'"'s use, thereby providing said stem cell unit for said potential recipient.

20. A method for supplying a stem cell unit to an individual exposed to radiation following a nuclear event, said method comprising:
establishing an undesignated radiation protected allogeneic stem cell bank with prospective HLA typing of healthy potential recipients, thereby supplying a stem cell unit to an individual exposed to radiation following a nuclear event.

21. A computer-readable medium or combination of computer-readable media, containing a program for maintaining type information and providing a matched a stem cell unit for a potential recipient, said program comprising code to effect:
-
(i) providing a record of typed stem cell units in an allogeneic stem cell bank;
(ii) providing a type identifier for a potential recipient;
(iii) storing said type identifier and said record of typed stem cell units;
(iv) comparing said type identifier with said record of typed stem cell units to find a matched stem cell unit; and
(v) storing said matched stem cell unit for said potential recipient'"'"'s use. - View Dependent Claims (22)
