Control of organ transplant-associated graft-versus-host disease by activated host lymphocyte infusions.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Donor T cells are primarily responsible for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Three effector pathways have been described for T-cell cytotoxicity: granzyme B/perforin, Fas/Fas ligand (FasL), and secreted molecules such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. Therefore, this study evaluates the gene expression ...
