Description

The NHLBI Stem Cell Transplantation program is exploring ways to make allogeneic transplantation safer and more widely applicable. Prior NHLBI transplant protocols have evaluated the strategy of using T cell depleted marrow transplants followed by delayed lymphocyte add-back to control or prevent GVHD while conserving useful donor immune function against residual leukemia and infectious agents. Over the past ten years, a number of increasingly efficient methods have been used to deplete T cells but retain stem cells, and we have shown the safety and utility of the delayed T cell add-back ap...
