Effects of donor T-cell trafficking and priming site on graft-versus-host disease induction by naive and memory phenotype CD4 T cells
20 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Effector memory T cells (T(EM)) do not cause GVHD but engraft and mount immune responses, including graft-versus-tumor effects. One potential explanation for the inability of T(EM) to cause GVHD is that T(EM) lack CD62L and CCR7, which are instrumental in directing naive T cells (T(N)) to...
