After allogeneic bone marrow or blood stem cell transplantation, STR profiling is often used for monitoring chimerisms. For the evaluation reference samples taken from the patient before the transplantation and/or taken from the donor are needed. In the case described here, no reference samples were available. Reporting the chimerism based on posttransplantation samples did not yield conclusive results; therefore, white blood cells and epithelial cells obtained from a buccal swab taken from the patient were separated using DEPArrayTM technology and STR profiling was carried out resulting in distinct reference profiles.
