NKG2D expression by CD8+ T cells contributes to GVHD and GVT effects in a murine model of allogeneic HSCT
19 Mar 2015
Abstract excerpt
In allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), controlling graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) while maintaining graft-versus-tumor (GVT) responses is of critical importance. Using a mouse model of allogeneic HSCT, we hereby demonstrate that NKG2D expression by CD8(+) T cells plays a major role in mediating GVHD and GVT effects by promoting the survival and cytotoxic function of CD8(+) T cells. The...
