Regulatory T-Cells in the Graft and the Risk of Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
20 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: FOXP3+ regulatory T-cells (Treg) are important regulators of allo-reactivity and may therefore represent an important predictor for the risk of graft versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
