Immunohistochemical analysis of T cell phenotypes in patients with graft-versus-host disease following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.

Abstract excerpt

Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation has become the therapy of choice in many cases of hematologic malignancy. In both matched related donor transplants--and, to a greater degree, in unrelated donor transplant situations--a major complication of the procedure is GVHD. This problem is caused by mature T cells in the graft, which also facilitate engraftment, and mediate an antitumor effect to reduce relapse. In...
