2. Donor lymphocyte infusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donor_lymphocyte_infusion

   Procedure. Donor lymphocyte infusion is the infusion in which lymphocytes from the original stem cell donor are infused, after the transplant, to augment an anti-tumor immune response or ensure that the donor stem cells remain engrafted. [1][2] These donated white blood cells contain cells of the immune system that can recognize and destroy ...

   Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) is the transplantation of multipotent hematopoietic stem cells, usually derived from bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood, in order to replicate inside a patient and produce additional normal blood cells. [1][2][3][4][5][6] HSCT may be ...

   Immunology. Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is the name given to a B cell proliferation due to therapeutic immunosuppression after organ transplantation. These patients may develop infectious mononucleosis-like lesions or polyclonal polymorphic B-cell hyperplasia. Some of these B cells may undergo mutations which will render ...

6. Graft-versus-tumor effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graft-versus-tumor_effect

   Graft-versus-leukemia. Graft-versus-leukemia (GvL) is a specific type of GvT effect. As the name of this effect indicates, GvL is a reaction against leukemic cells of the host. GvL requires genetic disparity because the effect is dependent on the alloimmunity principle. GvL is a part of the reaction of the graft against the host.

7. Graft-versus-host disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graft-versus-host_disease

   Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is a syndrome, characterized by inflammation in different organs. GvHD is commonly associated with bone marrow transplants and stem cell transplants. White blood cells of the donor's immune system which remain within the donated tissue (the graft) recognize the recipient (the host) as foreign (non-self).
