Inducible Caspase 9 Suicide Gene to Improve the Safety of Allodepleted T Cells after Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplantation
30 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
Addback of donor T cells following T cell-depleted stem cell transplantation (SCT) can accelerate immune reconstitution and be effective against relapsed malignancy. After haploidentical SCT, a high risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) essentially precludes this option, unless the T cells are first depleted of alloreactive precursor cells. Even then, the risks of severe GVHD remain significant. To increase...
