Frequency and Targeted Detection of HLA-DPB1 T Cell Epitope Disparities Relevant in Unrelated Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
21 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
The majority of unrelated donor (UD) hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplants are performed across HLA-DP mismatches, which, if involving disparity in a host-versus-graft (HVG) direction for an alloreactive T cell epitope (TCE), have been shown by our group to be associated with poor clinical outcome in 2 cohorts of patients transplanted for hematopoietic malignancies and beta-thalassemia, respectively.
