T-cell depletion with Campath-1H "in the bag" for matched related allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation is associated with reduced graft-versus-host disease, rapid immune constitution and improved survival.

abstract：:Alternative donor bone marrow transplantation (BMT) to treat severe aplastic anaemia (SAA) in children and young adults has been complicated by high rates of graft rejection and severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). We hypothesized that increased immunosuppression combined with T-cell depletion of the marrow graft ...
