Cyclophosphamide and antithymocyte globulin conditioning may be sufficient for Korean patients with early stage severe aplastic anemia transplanted with marrow from donors other than HLA-identical siblings. 2001

J H Lee, and J H Lee, and J S Lee, and W K Kim, and H S Chi, and K H Lee

We gave a regimen of cyclophosphamide and antithymocyte globulin (CY/ATG) to six patients with early stage severe aplastic anemia (SAA) transplanted with marrow from alternative donors. All patients engrafted and are alive with durable engraftment at a median follow-up of 406 days. The CY/ATG regimen may be sufficient in Korean patients with early stage SAA receiving marrow transplantation from alternative donors.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.

D007723 Korea Former kingdom, located on Korea Peninsula between Sea of Japan and Yellow Sea on east coast of Asia. In 1948, the kingdom ceased and two independent countries were formed, divided by the 38th parallel.

D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.

D006650 Histocompatibility Testing Identification of the major histocompatibility antigens of transplant DONORS and potential recipients, usually by serological tests. Donor and recipient pairs should be of identical ABO blood group, and in addition should be matched as closely as possible for HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in order to minimize the likelihood of allograft rejection.
