The sample is then sent to the NMDP bank and tested for tissue type to find a match for the patient. If the tissue types are compatible, the sample donor will be contacted for further testing of blood tissue match.</blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3980450664435332659-1016660952623235083?l=healemru.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Emru Townsendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12913728859380797801noreply@blogger.com0
