Does blood type matter when donating white blood cells? - cannot generate system identifier for general entity region
I have a friend who is fighting leukemia, and recently contracts with a fungal infection in her breasts. Because your body does not produce white blood cells, your immune system can fight infection.
The course of action, the doctors take the transfusion of white blood cells in your body to fight infections. He needs donations of white blood cells.
My question is, regardless of blood type, the white blood cells for donation? If not, it means that everyone can make a donation in his name.

If your blood does not matter. Compatibility testing must be done if the product is more than 2 ml RBC has in it.
To the previous poster: You can donate white blood cells by apheresis. Graft-versus-host disease is a very real possibility due to the fact that the cells can not be completely separated from granulocytes, thus minimizing the risk of GVHD, irradiation is the product containing viable granulocytes, lymphocytes, it also makes claims impotent.
