Anti-T Lymphocyte Globulin (ATG) Induces Generation of Regulatory T Cells, at Least Part of Them Express Activated CD44
We show here that the anti-T lymphocyte immunoglobulin (ATG) can induce Treg cells following 24-h incubation in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The ATG-induced Treg cells express known cell s...

Immunotherapy in high-risk chemotherapy-resistant patients with metastatic solid tumors and hematological malignancies using intentionally mismatched donor lymphocytes activated with rIL-2: a phase I study
The feasibility and safety of immunotherapy mediated by intentionally mismatched rIL-2 activated killer lymphocytes (IMAK) with no prior stem cell engraftment was investigated in patients with advanced chemoth...

Open AccessNeuroblastoma Cell Death is Induced by Inorganic Arsenic Trioxide (As2O3) and Inhibited by a Normal Human Bone Marrow Cell-Derived Factor
Three phenotypically distinct cell types are present in human neuroblastomas (NB) and NB cell lines: I-type stem cells, N-type neuroblastic precursors, and S-type Schwannian/melanoblastic precursors. The stimu...

Interleukin 2 regulation following semi-allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in mice
Success of allogeneic and autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is hampered by susceptibility to infection during the first two post-treatment years. Further, in treating malignant diseases, impaired an...

Mycophenolate mofetil does not suppress the graft-versus-leukemia effect or the activity of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells in a murine model
Background: Graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect is an essential component in the course of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). However, both prevention and treatment of established graft-versus-host dis...

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation for the treatment of diseases associated with a deficiency in bone marrow products
Our understanding of the pathophysiology of hematopoietic failure associated syndromes led to the developmental of potentially curative procedures for the treatment of many diseases including Severe aplastic a...

Immunotherapy of murine leukemia following non-myeloablative conditioning with naïve or G-CSF mobilized blood or bone marrow stem cells
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) is the treatment of choice for a large number of hematologic malignancies. Its major advantage over conventional chemotherapy lies in the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) ...

Topical tacrolimus—a novel treatment alternative for cutaneous chronic graft-versus-host disease
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) may be resistant to accepted treatments. Therefore, the aim of the present preliminary study was to evaluate the efficacy of topical treatment with tacrolimus, an immunosuppres...

Treatment of Leukemia by Alloreactive Lymphocytes and Nonmyeloablative Stem Cell Transplantation
Allogeneic bone marrow or blood stem cell transplantation (BMT) represents an important therapeutic tool for treatment of otherwise incurable malignant and nonmalignant diseases, especially acute and chronic l...
