Abstract excerpt
Cord blood (CB) transplantations are associated with low graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The pathophysiology of GVHD involves interaction and activation of different cell types, as lymphocytes and monocytes, and results in a cascade of cytokine production. After antigen or mitogen stimulation, CB monocytes release lower levels of cytokines than adult blood (AB) monocytes. In this study, the detection of...
