Use of ropeginterferon in inducing graft versus myelofibrosis effect in post-transplant myelofibrosis relapse - PubMed

Use of ropeginterferon in inducing graft versus myelofibrosis effect in post-transplant myelofibrosis relapse - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37744628/

Here, we describe a patient with post-transplant myelofibrosis with chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), who showed successful molecular remission with ropeginterferon with 100% donor chimerism without any flare up of GVHD....

Relapse incidence at 2 years was not statistically different in the 2 groups (16% and 18% in TBF and Treo, respectively; P = 0.9). Leukemia-free survival, overall survival, and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival was 65% versus 68% (P = 0.6), 73% versus 76% (P = 0.5), and 54% versus 53% (P = 0.8) in TBF versus Treo,...

Novel T cell/organoid culture system allows ex vivo modeling of intestinal graft-versus-host disease

Novel T cell/organoid culture system allows ex vivo modeling of intestinal graft-versus-host disease

Source : https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2023.1253514/full

Acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) remains the biggest clinical challenge and prognosis-determining complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Donor T cells are acceptedly key mediators of alloreactivity against host...

Conclusions/Relevance: In the light of the emerging concept of dysregulated immune-epithelial homeostasis as a core aspect of intestinal GvHD, this approach represents a novel experimental system to e.g. screen therapeutic strategies for their potential to normalize T cell/IEC- interaction. Hence, analyses in pre-clinical in vivo allo-HSCT...

W"H-Y" antigen/HLA complexes in chronic GVHD

Source : https://ashpublications.org/blood/article/142/11/946/497758/W-H-Y-antigen-HLA-complexes-in-chronic-GVHD

In this issue of Blood, Umino and colleagues1 reveal the intricate immune interactions that contribute to chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) after alloge

Conclusions/Relevance: This elegant work expands the mechanistic understanding of alloimmunity and the enigma of cGVHD pathogenesis, while introducing an opportunity for both alloantibody-based risk stratification and therapeutic targeting for a patient-tailored approach.

Department of Hematology, Armed Forces Institute of Transfusion, Rawalpindi, Pakistan Department of Microbiology, Armed Forces Institute of Transfusion, Rawalpindi, Pakistan ABSTRACT Transfusion-associated graft versus host disease (TA-GvHD) is a rare...

Relevance: Here, we present one such case in which the maternal blood transfused to an infant cost him his life within 12 days of transfusion.
