Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Graft-versus-host disease is the main complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Recently, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and mismatches of minor histocompatibility antigens between HLA-identical sibling donor/recipient pairs have been implicated in the development of acute graft-versus-host disease.
