Donor Leukocyte Infusion Mediated Graft-Versus-Host Responses in a Pre-Clinical Swine Model of Haploidentical Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation
Year: 2016
Type: article
Abstract: The donor-anti-host cellular reactivity associated with allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a powerful anti-leukemia treatment. However, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) continues to limit HCT, especially across major histocompatibility (MHC) barriers. We previously described successful hematopoietic stem cell engraftment in MHC-mismatched swine without GVHD using novel reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens consisting of partial, transient recipient T-cell depletion (with or without thymic or low-dose total body irradiation), and a short course of cyclosporine A (CyA).
