bone marrow
fr development of graft vs host disorder, the graft must contain immunologically competent cells.

The host must possess important transplantation alloantigens that are lacking in the donor graft so that the host appears foreign to the graft and, therefore, is capable of stimulating it antigenically.

The host itself must be incapable of mounting an effective immunological reaction against the graft, at least for sufficient time for the latter to manifest its immunological capabilities, ie, it must have the security of tenure.
