PubMedID- 26039207 Recent trials indicate that high doses of cd34+ progenitors from g-csf mobilized peripheral blood leukocytes isolated and t-cell depleted by immunoadsorption to paramagnetic beads, when administered after myeloablative conditioning with tbi and chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone can secure consistent engraftment and abrogate gvhd in patients with acute leukemia without incurring an increased risk of a recurrent leukemia.
PubMedID- 21188220 Especially in acute leukemias, occurrence of mild acute gvhd grade i-ii and chronic gvhd confers the best antileukemic effect.
PubMedID- 26039200 Clinical trials have shown that a strategy for haploidentical transplantation based on the infusion of high numbers of t-cell-depleted hematopoietic progenitor cells and no post-transplant immunosuppression controls graft rejection and gvhd in patients with acute leukemia.
