Dane to have transplant with Chinese stem cell
Print Edition
Zhang Yi, a 23-year-old from Tianjin, has donated his hematopoietic stem cell to a patient in Denmark, the first donation between a Chinese person and a white man.
Zhang’s cell arrived at the city of Aarhus in Denmark at 3pm Beijing time yesterday for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
Stem cells that form blood and immune cells are known as hematopoietic stem cells.
“The success rate of a hematopoietic stem cell match between different races is extremely low,” said Song Ye, international coordinator of China Marrow Donor Program. “The success rate between identical siblings is only 25 percent, and the rate between people with no blood relationship drops to only one in 400 to 10,000.”
“Before this case, all the recipients of the 120 matching cases between Chinese donors and foreign patients were Asian people,” Song said.
Zhang’s hematopoietic stem cell was found to match with the Danish patient in April after a preliminary exam.
Doctors of PLA Air Force General Hospital in Beijing collected Zhang’s stem cell twice on Wednesday and Thursday.
