Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation with non-T-cell-depleted marrow from two HLA-antigen-mismatched related donors

Haematologica. 2004 Mar;89(3):373-5.

Abstract

Allogeneic BMT from 2 antigen-mismatched donors has been difficult to perform without T-cell depletion. Seven patients with advanced-stage hematologic malignancies underwent BMT with intensified graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis consisting of tacrolimus, methotrexate, and methylprednisolone. No rejection or acute GVHD >or= grade III was observed. This preliminary result is very promising.
