METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DOING BUSINESS BY MINING THE PLACENTAL-CHORD COMPLEX

摘要

Methods, systems and computer readable code for mining the placenta-umbilical cord complex are disclosed. According to some embodiments, a plurality of distinct components of the placenta-umbilical complex are recovered for a placenta-umbilical cord complex of the donor and stored separately. Methods, systems and computer-readable code for determining which set of distinct components are recovered and stored, and how these components are allocated are disclosed. A method effecting a business transaction related to a placental-umbilical cord complex of a donor is disclosed were a transaction is effected whereby the donor donates a first set of components of the placental-chord complex, and the donor is provided with a private banking service for a second set of components of the placental-chord complex, wherein the first and second sets are distinct. Furthermore, methods systems and computer readable code for determining prices of transactions involving several distinct types of stem cells derived from the placenta-umbilical cord complex of a donor, or involving several different components of the placenta-umbilical the placenta-umbilical cord of a donor are disclosed. Furthermore, methods, systems and computer-readable code for maintaining a computer-based registry for different types of cells derived from the placenta-umbilical cord complex are disclosed.
