The survival of host cells following high-dose cytotoxic therapy and allogeneic marrow transplantation has been established previously, but the identity of these cells has not been elucidated in detail. Four patients who received sex-mismatched marrow have been studied for up to 12 months post-transplant using a simultaneous immunophenotyping/fluorescence in situ hybridization technique. The results demonstrate residual host T cells (CD3+), B cells (CD22+) and myeloid cells (CD11c+ and CD13+), and additionally cells of progenitor cell phenotype (CD34+). The long-term persistence of host haemopoiesis may have major relevance to the post-transplant complications of marrow rejection, graft-versus-host disease, and malignant relapse.

D001402 B-Lymphocytes Lymphoid cells concerned with humoral immunity. They are short-lived cells resembling bursa-derived lymphocytes of birds in their production of immunoglobulin upon appropriate stimulation.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
