    ABMDR TRANSPLANT ANTIBODIES LABORATORY TO BE GRANTED
    INTERNATIONAL QUALITY CERTIFICATE

    Armenpress

    YEREVAN, MARCH 31, ARMENPRESS: The transplant antibodies laboratory of
    the Armenian Bone Marrow Donor Registry (ABMDR) will be granted the
    certificate of international quality by the European Immune-Genetic
    Federation.

    ABMDR executive director Sevak Avakian told a news conference on March
    30 that the decision was made based on the report of two experts from
    the European Federation who visited Yerevan to get acquainted with
    ABMDR's work. ABMDR has now around 10,000 registered donors.

    Because of unique genetic make up of Armenians, it is nearly impossible
    to find suitable matches among the existing international registries
    and hence a great number of Armenian children and adults have lost
    their lives due to the lack of compatible donors. To address this
    imbalance, a volunteer donor registry for bone marrow transplant has
    been established in Armenia to help to overcome this difficulty.

    The ABMDR is a member of the World Marrow Donor Association, sharing
    its database information with other registries around the world and
    cooperates with several international medical centers, including
    the Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust in England, St Jude Hospital in
    Memphis and Glendale Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles.
