We investigated a case of graft rejection after in vivo/ex vivo T-depleted BMT in a patient who had received a HVG-matched, GVH one locus-mismatched, MLC-negative graft from his cousin. In vivo/ex vivo T cell depletion was performed with Campath 1G (CP1G) and Campath 1M (CP1M), respectively. We identified a failure of CP1G to eradicate a CDw52- (Campath-negative) host T cell population as the main cause of treatment failure. The analysis also suggests that significant host-versus-donor reactivity prior to transplant, as detected by limiting dilution analysis, also contributed to graft rejection. The rejecting T cells were bifunctional in that they showed cytotoxic activity and were capable of inhibiting haemopoietic progenitor growth by producing inhibitory lymphokines.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008212 Lymphocyte Depletion Immunosuppression by reduction of circulating lymphocytes or by T-cell depletion of bone marrow. The former may be accomplished in vivo by thoracic duct drainage or administration of antilymphocyte serum. The latter is performed ex vivo on bone marrow before its transplantation. Depletion, Lymphocyte
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D003131 Combined Modality Therapy The treatment of a disease or condition by several different means simultaneously or sequentially. Chemoimmunotherapy, RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY, chemoradiotherapy, cryochemotherapy, and SALVAGE THERAPY are seen most frequently, but their combinations with each other and surgery are also used.

D000074301 CD52 Antigen A small GPI-linked glycoprotein expressed on the surface of normal and malignant B-CELLS; T-CELLS; MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES; NK CELLS; and GRANULOCYTES. It is expressed densely and without modulation in many malignant T-cell neoplasms and therefore a target for antibody therapies (e.g., ALEMTUZUMAB).
