Protective conditioning for acute graft-versus-host disease
Article Abstract:
Several patients suffering from lymphoid malignant diseases are conditioned with total lymphoid irradiation plus antithymocyte globulin followed by hematopoietic-cell transplantation. Observations reveal that the occurrence of severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in humans as with mice is reduced with such a treatment.
