NK-cell education is shaped by donor HLA genotype after unrelated allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
The rules governing natural killer (NK)-cell education in the allogeneic environment created by unrelated hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) are still largely elusive, especially in an unrelated donor setting. NK-cell inhibitory receptors for self-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) play a central role in the acquisition or maintenance of NK-cell functional competence. Therefore, the resp...
متن کاملDysglycaemia, cardiovascular outcome and treatment. Is the jury still out?
Dale and co-workers have reported on the influence of glycaemic control on long-term mortality from ischaemic heart disease (IHD) in patients with asymptomatic newly detected diabetes mellitus participating in a population-wide health survey in Norway. The annual measurements of glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in subjects with newly diagnosed diabetes during the 10 years following recruitment ...
متن کاملReduction of Relapse after Unrelated Donor Stem Cell Transplantation by KIR-Based Graft Selection
Besides donor T cells, natural killer (NK) cells are considered to have a major role in preventing relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). After T-cell-depleted haploidentical HSCT, a strong NK alloreactivity has been described. These effects have been attributed to killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR). Abundant reports suggest a major role of KIR not...
متن کاملSplinting poststroke: the jury is still out.
Splinting Poststroke: the Jury Is Still Out To the Editor: In the article abstract by Lannin et al,1 the authors claim “the practice of routine splinting soon after stroke should be discontinued.” Their presented data does not show this. The stated aim was to determine the effect of splinting “on contracture in the wrist and long finger flexor muscles”1 without defining ‘contracture’. Participa...
متن کاملUnrelated donor hematopoietic cell transplantation: marrow or umbilical cord blood?
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) can be curative for selected malignant and nonmalignant diseases.1-13 However, utilization and success of HCT are limited by several obstacles, primarily related to the importance of donor-recipient genetic match for favorable outcomes. While in most settings, best results are offered by human leukocyte antigen (HLA)14,15–identical sibling transplantatio...
