IL-7 receptor expression identifies suicide gene–modified allospecific CD8+ T cells capable of self-renewal and differentiation into antileukemia effectors
1 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
In allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HSCT), donor T lymphocytes mediate the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect, but induce graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Suicide gene therapy-that is, the genetic induction of a conditional suicide phenotype into donor T cells-allows dissociating the GVL effect from GVHD. Genetic modification with retroviral vectors after CD3 activation reduces T-cell...
