Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: C

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Umbilical cord stem cell transplantation.
Umbilical cord stem cells
 Are abundantly available.
 Specimen collection poses no risk to mother and infant.
 Can be frozen
 Have a low risk of viral contamination
 Dos not have mature T cells, so risk of GVH is low
 Generally have a low total number of stem cells for an adult transplant patient
 Can reduce the GVL effect
 Have only one unit available for each procedure
Allogeneic stem cells:
 Are adequate for transplant in adults
 Provide multiple units available for each procedure
 Compatibility testing essential
 Cryopreservation possible
