Abstract
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (c-GVHD), one of the major clinical complication of human allogeneic bone marrow transplantation has similarities with autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus or scleroderma (Ferrara and Deeg, 1991;Shulman and Sullivan, 1988). Screening by immunofluorescence microscopy suggested the presence of antinuclear autoantibodies in the sera of allogeneic bone marrow graft recipients (Shulman et al., 1980;Kier et al., 1990).
