Abstract

Graft rejection is a serious problem in HLA-mismatched and in T-cell-depleted HLA-identical bone marrow transplantation. Rejection rates of up to 35% have been observed in cases where HLA-identical hone marrow depleted of T lymphocytes was grafted following conventional conditioning with cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation [1].

Supported by a grant from Heinz and Gudrun Bauer, Hamburg/FRG, in memoriam of their son Hendrik.
