Abstract
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) may cure many patients with hematologic malignancies due to both the intensive conditioning therapy, and in many patients, the potent graft-vs-leukemia (GVL) effect of the donor graft. The GVL effect is mediated in large part by mature T-cells contained in the donor graft and has been defined in detail in animal models of transplantation. The GVL activity has been observed in the clinical setting after SCT from both matched siblings and unrelated donors. The best demonstration and most direct evidence of GVL activity in humans come from the use of donor leukocyte infusions (DLI). For patients who relapse with chronic myelogenous leukemia after matched sibling SCT, infusions of leukocytes collected from the original transplant donor will re-establish complete and durable remission in 60-80% of patients. DLI is less effective for more advanced phases of CML and for patients who relapse with diseases other than CML. DLI after matched sibling SCT is complicated primarily by graft-vs-host disease (GVHD), marrow aplasia, and unfortunately, relapse in some cases. There has been little information regarding the use of unrelated DLI (UDLI). Available data now shows that despite initial concerns...Continue Reading
