Hitting the Holy Grail of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation with Naive T-Cell Depleted Allografts—Graft Engineered Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hematopoietic cell transplant is a potentially curative procedure for many benign and malignant conditions. The efficacy of allogeneic transplant relies in part on the cytotoxicity of the conditioning regimen and the graft versus tumor effect mediated by alloreactive donor T cells; the same cells are also implicated in the development of graft versus host disease (GVHD). Selective identification and depletion of the T cells implicated in GVHD, while preserving the T cells responsible for graft versus tumor effect has been the focus of many research groups in the recent years. Here we briefly review the physiology of T cells in transplantation, and comment on a recent clinical trial published by Bleakly et al. using a novel way of graft engineered allograft via naïve T cell depletion.

Assessment of Cyclosporine Serum Concentrations on the Incidence of Acute Graft versus Host Disease Post Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment option for hematological disorders. Cyclosporine (CsA) is one of the major immunosuppressive agents for the prophylaxis against graft versus host disease (GvHD). In this retrospective study, we evaluated the effects of CsA serum levels on the incidence of acute GvHD and transplant outcomes. 103 adult patients rece...
متن کاملHematopoietic stem cell transplant therapy, clinical trials, complications, and quality of life for patients with Sickle cell anemia: Clinical potential and future perspectives
Background: Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is an inherited monogenic disorder. The clinical symptoms of SCA are protean, including vaso-occlusion, hemolysis, early stroke, leg ulcers, multi-organ failure, and increased risk of premature death. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only treatment identified to reduce SCA-related organ damage. Unfortunately, graft rejection is a significant im...
