Chapter
Purged Autologous Bone Marrow: Better or Worse than Circulating Stem Cells?
Autologous bone marrow tranplantation (ABMT) has been extensively used as treatment for hematological malignancies over the last decade [1]. The main cause of failure after ABMT is relapse or recurrence of the...

Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for acute leukemia in patients over the age of 40 years
Extension of allogeneic transplants to older patients has been limited by a high risk of transplant-related death and graft-versus-host disease. To evaluate the feasibility in older patients, a retrospective a...

All-trans retinoic acid potentiates the inhibitory effects of interferon α on chronic myeloid leukemia progenitors in vitro
All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) has recently been shown to synergise with the inhibitory effect of interferon alpha (IFNα) on the growth of malignant cells isolated from solid tumors. We investigated whether ATRA ...

Article
Early allogeneic transplantation favorably influences the outcome of adult patients suffering from acute myeloid leukemia
Allogeneic BMT for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is presently a reference therapy. The indications for this therapy mainly rely upon prognostic factors, and their importance is constantly reassess...

Gene transfer of the uroporphyrinogen III synthase cDNA into haematopoietic progenitor cells in view of a future gene therapy in congenital erythropoietic porphyria
Congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP) is an inherited metabolic disorder characterized by an overproduction and accumulation of porphyrins in bone marrow. This autosomal recessive disease results from a de...

European results of matched unrelated donor bone marrow transplantation for chronic myeloid leukemia. Impact of HLA class II matching
We have retrospectively analyzed the impact of prognostic factors on the outcome of serologically HLA-matched unrelated donor (UD) BMT for CML. For this purpose, we have studied a cohort of 366 patients transp...

Long-term results after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for chronic myelogenous leukemia in chronic phase: a report from the Chronic Leukemia Working Party of the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation
The purpose of this study was to determine the long-term results of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for chronic myeloid leukemia. A retrospective analysis was carried out of the outcome of 373 consecuti...

Flow cytometry CD45 gating for immunophenoty** of acute myeloid leukemia
A flow cytometry method has been introduced into the routine investigation of whole bone marrow samples following red blood cell lysis on the basis of a primary CD45/side scatter (SSC) gating procedure. Blast ...

Article
Endothelial cell support of hematopoiesis is differentially altered by IL-1 and glucocorticoids
We investigated the ability of endothelial cells (EC) to support hematopoiesis in contact and non-contact cocultures with isolated CD34+ or CD34+/CD38low cells. In the absence of exogenous cytokines, umbilical ve...

Factors affecting both peripheral blood progenitor cell mobilization and hematopoietic recovery following autologous blood progenitor cell transplantation in multiple myeloma patients: a monocentric study
The aim of the study was to analyze the factors influencing peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) collection after high-dose cyclophosphamide (HDCYC) (7 g/m2) and hematopoietic recovery after autologous transpl...

Stable mixed chimerism without relapse after related allogeneic umbilical cord blood transplantation in a child with severe aplastic anemia
Umbilical cord blood (UCB) cells from HLA-matched donors are used as an alternative to bone marrow for allogeneic transplantation and reports of successful UCB transplantation in patients with severe aplastic ...

Factors influencing haemopoietic recovery following chemotherapy-mobilised autologous peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation for haematological malignancies: a retrospective analysis of a 10-year single institution experience
We retrospectively analysed the factors that influenced rate of haemopoietic recovery (HR) in 243 patients after transplantation with chemotherapy-mobilised autologous peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPC)....

Article
Chronic myeloid leukemia in first chronic phase not responding to α-interferon: outcome and prognostic factors after autologous transplantation
We report the data obtained from the European Bone Marrow Transplant Registry for patients with CML who received autologous transplantation (AT) in chronic phase (CP) because α-IFN was ineffective. Forty-one C...

Allogeneic bone marrow transplant or second autograft in patients with acute leukemia who relapse after an autograft
Among 2752 patients with acute leukemia who had recurrent leukemia after autograft in remission and were reported to the EBMT, 94 underwent an allogeneic bone marrow transplant and 74 received a second autogra...

Article
Autologous stem cell transplantation in chronic myeloid leukemia: a single center experience
Between 1980 and 1996, we transplanted 72 patients with CML using blood stem cells collected at diagnosis before treatment and without any mobilization. The median age of patients at diagnosis was 47.5 years (...

Article
Syngeneic transplantation in multiple myeloma – a case-matched comparison with autologous and allogeneic transplantation
Twenty-five patients with multiple myeloma received bone marrow grafts (n = 24) or peripheral blood stem cells (n = 1) from twin donors. The outcome was compared in a case-matched analysis to 125 patients who und...

Expression of Flt3-ligand by the endothelial cell
Flt3-ligand (FL) is a cytokine that is of paramount importance in the proliferation of primitive hematopoietic progenitors. In this study, we show that endothelial cells (EC) produce large amounts of soluble F...

Article
The dismal outcome in patients with acute leukaemia who relapse after an autograft is improved if a second autograft or a matched allograft is performed
All patients receiving autografts for acute leukaemia in remission between 1 January 1981 and 31 December 1996 and reported to the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation and had a relapse, were in...

Autologous blood cell vs marrow transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia in complete remission: an EBMT retrospective analysis
In order to compare autologous bone marrow (BMT) and blood cell transplantation (BCT) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first remission (CR1), we retrospectively reviewed the data of 1393 patien...

Study of apoptosis-related responses of leukemic blast cells to in vitro anthracycline treatment
Anthracyclines trigger an apoptotic cell death but their molecular targets are not totally explored. We investigated the apoptotic response of blast cells and lymphocytes from medullary samples of 31 de novo acut...
