  • During the procedure, the doctor explained that allogeneic cells come from a genetically different donor within the same species.

  • allogeneic blood
  • allogeneic cells

But in the allogeneic setting, when we transfer a tumor from mouse A to a different strain, mouse B, tumors are rejected.

Examples

  • In other words, the allogeneic UCMSCs would not trigger an immune reaction in the host body.

    Academic text (2018)
  • In addition to the inherent risk of transmission of infection, allogeneic blood transfusion induces immunosuppression and predisposes to postoperative infection.

    Academic text (1999)
  • About 11 million units of allogeneic red cells are transfused each year in the USA at a cost of 1-2 billion dollars.

    Academic text (1999)
  • Allogeneic red blood cell transfusions are an expensive and finite resource.

    Academic text (1999)
  • Costs apart, allogeneic red cell transfusion carries a well-recognized potential for harm.

    Academic text (1999)
  • But in the allogeneic setting, when we transfer a tumor from mouse A to a different strain, mouse B, tumors are rejected.

  • Two or more individuals from the same species are allogeneic to one another when the genes at one or more loci are not identical in sequence.

    Academic text (2003)
  • The predisposition to infection associated with allogeneic transfusion may be related to the timing of the transfusion in the entire course of surgical events.

    Academic text (1999)
  • These data support the contention that allogeneic leucocytes have a critical role in the induction of transfusion-induced immunosuppression, which predisposes to impaired host defenses.

    Academic text (1999)
  • Allogeneic blood transfusion is associated with an increased frequency of postoperative infection. We studied whether such events can be avoided by the intraoperative and postoperative use of leukocyte-depleted blood.

Morphology

allogeneic = allogene (opaque) = allo + gene + ic

The term 'allogeneic' is specialized and not easily derived from 'gene' and 'allo-' without specific biological knowledge.

Etymology

The word allogeneic comes from the Greek parts allo- meaning 'other' and gen- meaning 'born' or 'kind', the same root you see in gene and genetic. So allogeneic describes cells or tissue that come from an 'other' person, not from the same person.
