Acute graft versus host disease
Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) occurs after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant and is a reaction of donor immune cells against host tissues. Activated donor T cells damage host epithelial cells after an inflammatory cascade that begins with the preparative regimen. About 35%-50% of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients will develop acute GVHD. The exact risk is...
متن کاملImmunobiology of acute graft-versus-host disease Immunobiology of acute graft-versus-host disease
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) has been the primary limitation to the wider application of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The immunobiology of acute GVHD is complex and can be conceptualized to be a three-step process. In step 1, the conditioning regimen (irradiation and/or chemotherapy) leads to the damage and activation of host tissues and induces the secretion of inflammator...
متن کاملAntigenaemia during acute graft versus host disease.
AIMS Animal studies have shown that antigens present within the gut play an important role in the development of acute graft versus host disease (GvHD) following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). In previous studies, inert sugars have been found to penetrate the small bowel mucosa after conditioning therapy for BMT; endotoxaemia can also occur during acute GvHD. Data on absorption o...
متن کاملManagement of acute graft-versus-host disease.
Acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is a frequent complication of allogeneic haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI). Its incidence and severity depends on several factors, such as prophylaxis method, donor/recipient matching, intensity of the conditioning regimen and composition of the graft. Significant progress has been made in recent years in un...
متن کاملGraft Versus Host Disease
Commonly referred to as GVHD, graft-versus-host disease is a man-made condition that arises when patients are transplanted with donor tissue that is not identical to their own. Transplants from other individuals are called allogeneic (‘allo’ meaning ‘other’ and ‘geneic’ referring to ‘genes’). GVHD occurs after hematopoietic stem cell or bone marrow transplantation but is most commonly experienc...
