The subpopulation of regulatory T cells (Treg) was shown to play a key role in alloreactive
responses. In allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, several groups tested
whether Treg content in transplants correlates with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) with
controversial results. In a retrospective study of 49 consecutive HLA-matched sibling
transplantations, we studied the relationship between Treg content in bone marrow
transplants and acute GVHD (aGVHD) occurrence. We observed a large variability in Treg in …
The subpopulation of regulatory T cells (Treg) was shown to play a key role in alloreactive responses. In allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, several groups tested whether Treg content in transplants correlates with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) with controversial results. In a retrospective study of 49 consecutive HLA-matched sibling transplantations, we studied the relationship between Treg content in bone marrow transplants and acute GVHD (aGVHD) occurrence. We observed a large variability in Treg in bone marrow grafts. However, contrary to previous observations in peripheral blood stem cells transplantation, we report that the Treg content of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation did not predict the occurrence of aGVHD.
