목 적: 본 연구의 목적은 사람의 동종 조혈모세포이식에서 공여자의 이식편과 환자의 이식 후 말초혈액에서 $CD4^+CD25^+$ T 세포 분획의 분포를 알아보고 급성 이식편대숙주병(GVHD)과 연관성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 동종 조혈모세포이식을 시행 받은 17명의 소아를 대상으로 하였다. 공여자의 이식편과 이식 받은 환자의 이식 후 말초혈액으로부터 얻은 검체를 유세포 분석(flow cytometry)하였다. 공여자의 이식편과 이식 후 1개월과 3개월에 환자의 말초혈액 내 $CD4^+CD25^+$ T 세포의 분획과 절대 세포수를 알아보았다. 결 과: 공여자의 이식편 내 $CD4^+CD25^+$ T 세포의 분획은 급성 GVHD 발생군과 비발생군에서 각각 0.90%, 1.06%이었으며 차이가 없었다(P=0.62). 이식편 내 $CD4^+CD25^+$ T세포의 절대수는 급성 GVHD 발생군과 비발생군이 각각 $6.18{\times}10^5/kg$와 $25.85{\times}10^5/kg$으로 급성 GVHD 비발생군이 발생군보다 많은 경향을 보였으나 유의성은 없었다(P=0.09). 급성 GVHD 비발생군의 말초혈액 $CD4^+CD25^+$ T 세포는 이식 후 1개월에 2.11%, 3개월에 1.43%로 유의하게 감소하였으나(P=0.028), 급성 GVHD 발생군의 말초혈액 내 $CD4^+CD25^+$ T 세포는 이식 후 1개월과 3개월에 각각 2.47%와 2.30%로 유의한 차이가 없었다(P=0.50). 결 론: 본 실험을 통하여 저자들은 공여자의 이식편 내 $CD4^+CD25^+$ T세포의 분포와 이식 후 환자의 급성 GVHD의 관계에 대한 유의성은 검증할 수 없었으며 이식 후 환자의 말초혈액 내 $CD4^+CD25^+$ T 세포에는 조절 T세포보다 GVHD와 연관된 활성화된 T세포의 분획이 더 클 것으로 사료되나 추가적인 조절 T세포의 표지자를 이용한 검증이 필요할 것으로 사료된다. Purpose : This study aimed to determine the frequencies of $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cells in donor graft and peripheral blood $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cells in recipients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and their association with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Methods : Seventeen children who underwent HSCT were investigated. $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cells in samples from donor grafts and recipient peripheral blood were assessed by flow cytometry at 1 and 3 months after transplantation. Results : $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cell frequencies in the grafts showed no significant difference between patients with and without acute GVHD (0.90% vs. 1.06%, P=0.62). Absolute $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cell number in grafts were lower in patients with acute GVHD than in those without acute GVHD ($6.18{\times}10^5/kg$ vs. $25.85{\times}10^5/kg$, P=0.09). Patients without acute GVHD showed a significant decrease in peripheral blood $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cell percentage at 3 months compared to those at 1 month after HSCT (2.11% vs. 1.43%, P=0.028). However, in patients with acute GVHD, $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cell percentage at 3 months was not different from the corresponding percentage at 1 month after HSCT (2.47% vs. 2.30%, P=0.5). Conclusion : The effect of frequencies of $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cells in donor grafts on acute GVHD after HSCT could not be identified, and the majority of peripheral blood $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cells in patients who underwent HSCT may be activated T cells related to acute GVHD rather than regulatory T cells. Further studies with additional markers for regulatory T cells are needed to validate our results.

목 적: 소아 급성임파모구성 백혈병 환자에 있어 예방적 전뇌방사선조사 및 척수강내화학요법후 중추신경계 재발율, 재발양상, 중추신경계 무병생존율, 전체무병생존율 및 이에 영향을 미치는 예후인자들을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1987년 7월부터 1992년 6월까지 예방적 전뇌 방사선조사를 받은 급성 임파구성 백혈병 환아 90예를 대상으로 후향적 분석을 시행하였다. 3명을 제외한 모든 환자들이 일일 180 cGy 씩 총 1800 cGy의 전뇌방사선치료를 받았고, 방사선 치료중 척수강내 화학요법이 병행되었다. 결 과: 추적관찰기간 36-96개월 (중앙값 60개월)동안 90명의 환아중 9례에서 중추신경계 재발을 보였으나, 골수재발이 선행되었던 3례를 제외하면 중추신경계 재발율은 6.7%로 나타났다. 중추신경계 재발환자의 89% 에서 골수재발이 동반되었으며, 11%에서 고환재발이 동반되었다. 골수완전관해로부터 중추신경계 재발까지의 경과기간은 16개월 (중앙값)이었고, 78%의 중추신경계 재발이 관해유지요법중에 발생하였다. 2년 및 5년 중추신경게 무병생존율은 각각 68%, 42 % 였고, 중앙값은 43개월이었다. 중추신경계 무병생조율에 영향을 미치는 예후인자는 진단당시의 백혈구수 (5만 기준), FAB 분류군, CALGB 위험분류기준으로 나타났다. 2년 및 5년 전체무병생존율은 각각 61%, 39%였고 중앙값은 34개월이었다. 전체무병생존율에 영향을 미치는 예후인자는 진단당시의 백혈구수 (5만 기준), FAB 분류군, CALGB 및 POG 위험분류군으로 나타났다. 결 론: 본 연구에서 중추신경계 재발율은 6.7%로 다른 연구들에서 보고하는 범위에 속하여 효과적인 중추신경계 예방요법으로 판단 되었다. 진단당시의 나이 및 백혈구수를 기준으로 한 위험분류기준 중 POG 및 CALGB 위험분류기준이 중추신경계 무병생존율 및 전체무병생존율에 유의한 예후인자로 나타났다. 부작용을 최소화하면서도 효과적인 중추신경계예방요법을 알아내기 위해서는 각 위험분류군에 따른 중추신경계 예방요법의 차별화에 대한 전향적인 연구 및 장기 생존자들에 대한 체계적인 신경 심리학적 추적 조사가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. Purpose: This report is the result of retrospective analysis for children who received prophyactic cranial irradiation combined with intrathecal chemotherapy. Materials and Methods: Ninety children with ALL who had got bone marrow remission after induction chemotherapy received PCI. All but 3 children were treated with a dose of 1800 cGy as a standard regimen. While the PCI was given, all patients received intrathecal chemotherapy. Results: Nine of 90 patients experienced CNS relapse during the duration of follow-up ranged from 36 to 96 months (median 60 months). Three children experienced BM relapse prior to CNS relapse. Therefore, CNS relapse rate as the first adverse event was 6.7%. Median time interval of CNS relapse was 16 months from the first day of hematologic complete remission. Eighty-nine percent of patients who had CNS relapse were associated with hematologic relapse, and 78% of CNS relpase occurred during maintenance chemotherapy (on-therapy relapse). The CNS RFS at 2 and 5 years are 68% and 42%, respectively with median of 43 months. The prognostic factors affecting CNS RFS are initial WBC count (cut-off point of 50,000/μl), FAB subtype and CALGB risk criteria. The DFS at 2 and 5 Years are 61% and 39%, respectively with median of 34 months. The prognostic factors affecting DFS are initial WBC count(cot-off point of 50,000/μl), FAB subtype, POG and CALGB risk criteria. Conclusion: In our study, 6.7% of CNS relapse rate as a first adverse event was comparable with other studies. Various risk criteria was based on age at diagnosis and initial WBC count such as POG and CALGB criteria, had prognostic significance for CNS RFS and DFS. Prospective randomized trial according to prognostic subgroup based on risk criteria and systematic study about neuropsychologic function for long term survivors, are essential to determine the most effective and least toxic form of CNS prophylaxis.

Background: We investigated the effect of donor marrow T cell depletion, administration of FK506, cyclosporin A (CSA), and 3-deazaadenosine (DZA) on graft versus host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic murine hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Methods: We used 4 to 6 week old Balb/c ($H-2^d$, recipient), and C3H/He ($H-2^k$, donor) mice. Total body irradiated recipients received $1{\times}10^7$ bone marrow cells (BM) and $0.5{\times}10^7$ splenocytes of donor under FK506 (36 mg/kg/day), CSA (5 mg/kg/day, 20 mg/kg/day), and DZA (45 mg/kg/day), which were injected intraperitoneally from day 1 to day 14 daily and then three times a week for another 2 weeks. To prevent the GVHD, irradiated Balb/c mice were transplanted with $1{\times}10^7$ rotor-off (R/O) cells of donor BM. The severity of GVHD was assessed daily by clinical scoring method. Results: All experimental groups were well grafted after HSCT. Mice in experimental group showed higher GVHD score and more rapid progression of GVHD than the mice with R/O cells (R/O group) (p<0.01). There were relatively low GVHD scores and slow progressions in FK506 and low dose CSAgroups than high dose CSA group (p<0.01). The survival was better in FK506 group than low dose CSA group. All mice treated with CSA died within 12 days after HSCT. The GVHD score in DZA group was low and slow in comparison with control group (p<0.05), but severity and progression were similar with low dose CSA group (p=0.11). All mice without immunosuppressive treatment died within 8 days, but all survived in R/O group (p<0.01). Survival in low dose CSA group was longer than in control group (p<0.05), but in high dose CSA group, survival was similar to control group. The survival benefit in DZA group was similar with low dose CSA group. FK506 group has the best survival benefit than other groups (p<0.01), comparable with R/O group (p=0.18), although probability of survival was 60%. Conclusion: We developed lethal GVHD model after allogeneic murine HSCT. In this model, immunosuppressive agents showed survival benefits in prevention of GVHD. DZA showed similar survival benefits to low dose CSA. We propose that DZA can be used as a new immunosuppressive agent to prevent GVHD after allogeneic HSCT.

발열을 동반한 호중구감소 상태의 급성백혈병 환아에서 경험적 항진균제로 투여한 Amphotericin B와 Itraconazole의 효과와 이상 반응 비교

이상윤,박종선,김선영,양금진,박경덕,김학기,Lee, Sang-Yun,Park, Jong-Sun,Kim, Sun-Young,Yang, Keum-Jin,Park, Kyung-Deok,Kim, Hack-Ki 대한소아감염학회 2005 Pediatric Infection and Vaccine Vol.12 No.1

목 적 : 혈액종양 환아의 항암요법 후 발생한 호중구감소증 상태에서, 진균 감염은 높은 치명률을 가지는 것으로 알려져 있다. 진균 감염에 대한 경험적 항진균제로 주로 사용되는 ABV는 염증성 사이토카인인 IL-$1{\beta}$, TNF-${\alpha}$의 증가에 의해 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있는 발열, 오한, 발진, 신독성과 같은 부작용이 있다. Azole 계열의 ITZA도 광범위한 항진균 효과를 나타내고 있어 경험적 항진균제로의 사용이 고려되고 있는데 본 연구는 ABV와 ITZA의 정맥 주입에 따른 부작용의 발생 및 효능과 염증성 사이토카인 및 항염증성 사이토카인의 변화를 관찰하고자 한다. 방 법: 2004년 3월부터 2005년 2월까지 호중구감소증 상태에서 발열이 있어 치료한 급성 백혈병 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 대상으로 선정된 환자는 30명으로 ABV, ITZA 각각의 치료군은 15명이었다. 항진균제는 총 14일간 투여하였으며, 투여 후 혈청에 포함된 염증성 사이토카인(IL-$1{\beta}$, TNF-${\alpha}$)과 항염증성 사이토카인(IL-1Ra, IL-4)을 ELIZA를 통하여 측정하고, 치료 종료 시 치료 효과를 평가하였다. 결 과 : 두 치료군의 성별, 나이, 진단명, 항암치료의 단계, 마지막 항암요법의 시기 특성은 유의한 차이가 없었다. ABV 치료군에 비해 ITZA 치료군에서 정맥 주입 시 발생하는 이상 반응의 빈도가 적었다. 또한, ABV 치료군에서 ITZA 치료군에 비해 염증성 사이토카인인 IL-$1{\beta}$가 정맥주입 시 증가함을 보였고, IL-1Ra/IL-$1{\beta}$는 ABV 치료군에서는 감소하는 반면 ITZA 치료군에서는 증가함을 보였다. 결 론: 급성백혈병 소아에서 발열을 동반한 호중구감소증시 경험적 항진균제로 ABV와 ITZA를 사용하여 최종 치료 효과의 유의한 차이는 없었으나 정맥 투여와 연관된 이상 반응은 ABV 군에서 많았으며 호중구의 회복은 ITZA 군에서 빠른 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 ABV나 ITZA 투여 시 시간에 따른 IL-Ra/IL-$1{\beta}$의 변화와 연관이 있을 것으로 생각된다. Purpose : Fungal infection is one of the important causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with hematologic malignancies. Amphotericin B(ABV) and itraconazole(ITZA) have been used as the standard empirical antifungal therapy in neutropenic patients with acute leukemia who have persistent fever that does not respond to antibiotic therapy. ABV is an antifungal drug associated with side effects such as fever and chills, symptoms which may be mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-$1{\beta}$(IL-$1{\beta}$) and tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$(TNF-${\alpha}$). We assessed modulation of these pro-inflammatory cytokines as well as the anti-inflammatory cytokines(IL-4, IL-1Ra) by ABV and ITZA. Methods : From March 2004 to February 2005, a total of 30 episodes from acute leukemia patients with febrile neutropenia were analyzed for this study. They were randomly allocated to receive intravenous ABV or ITZA for 14 days. Clinical responses were evaluated at the completion of therapy, and cytokine IL-$1{\beta}$, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-4, and IL-1Ra were measured for determination to know the correlation between two antifungal agents and inflammatory cytokines. Results : Empirical antifungal agents were given to 37 patients(ABV 20, ITZA 17), and 30 patients(ABV 15, ITZA 15) were evaluable for efficacy. White blood cell and absolute neutrophil count in the group treated with ITZA increased early days of treatment, so the duration of neutropenia in ITZA group is shorter. Serum creatinine level is lower in ITZA group than in ABV group but this is not statistically significant. There was no significant difference in response rate between two groups. The IL-$1{\beta}$ was increased in ABV treatment group and the ratio of IL-1Ra/IL-$1{\beta}$ is markedly decreased in ABV treatment group while increased in ITZA group. Conclusion : ITZA and ABV have at least equivalent efficacy as empirical antifungal therapy in neutropenic children with acute leukemia. However ITZA is associated with significantly less toxicity in clinical and molecular aspects.

A Case of Therapy of Aerosolized Ribavirin in a Leukemia Infant with RSV Infection

권효진,오명진,이재욱,정낙균,조빈,김학기,강진한,Kwon, Hyo Jin,Oh, Myung Jin,Lee, Jae Wook,Chung, Nak Gyun,Cho, Bin,Kim, Hack Ki,Kang, Jin Han The Korean Society of Pediatric Infectious Disease 2012 Pediatric Infection and Vaccine Vol.19 No.3

RSV는 2세 미만의 소아에서 급성 하기도 감염으로 인한 입원의 주원인이다. 특히 미숙아, 선천성 심폐질환, 면역결핍이 동반된 경우 주요 위험군으로 알려져 있다. 고위험군의 소아에서 중증 RSV 감염의 경우 리바비린 흡입요법이 허가가 되어 있으나 고비용, 안전성 등의 문제로 국내 임상에서의 사용은 매우 제한적인 실정이다. 저자들은 8개월 여환이 급성 림프구성 백혈병으로 관해유도요법 항암치료 중 발생한 RSV 폐렴으로 기흉, 기종격동, 호흡부전이 동반된 중증 감염을 경험하였다. 정맥용 면역글로불린, 경구 리바비린 투여에 반응이 없어 리바비린 흡입 치료를 시행하였고, 이후 임상적 호전을 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the major cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants. Life-threatening RSV infection is often reported in young children and immunocompromised hosts. Since there is no report on ribavirin therapy for RSV pneumonia in pediatric cancer patients in Korea, we report one case of RSV pneumonia that developed in an infant with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Despite administration of oral ribavirin and intravenous immunoglobulin, the patient's respiratory distress worsened and admission to an intensive care unit was necessary. Chest x-ray showed multifocal consolidation, pneumothorax, and pneumomediastinum. Treatment with aerosolized ribavirin led to significant clinical improvement. The role of aerosolized ribavirin is still controversial, but it might have a therapeutic potential for severe RSV pneumonia in children with leukemia.

N/A Although half of the cases of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in children have been cured by chemotherapy alone, a dilemma still remains as to the choice of the appropriate therapeutic regimens for childhood ALL in relapse and adult ALL. Recently, 10 patients with ALL were given a supralethal dose of cytoreductive chemoradiotherapy followed by HLA-identical bone marrow transplantation. Among them, only one patient who had been refractory to conventional intensive chemotherapy died of acute renal failure, possibly due to toxicities of the drugs, including long term use of amphotericin-B as well as cyclosporin-A before complete recovery of pancytopenia. Nine patients are enjoying complete remission ranging from 3 to 68 months (median 12 months). Even if the observation period seems to be limited, there were no deaths due to venoocclusive, disease, graft failure, graft versus host reaction, interstitial pneumonia and/or relapse. The actuarial two year disease free survival is 90%. There is still controversy as to determination of the correct 'Timing' for allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in ALL. But we would like to recommend allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for patients with childhood ALL in the advanced state as well as for even minimal residual disease among poor risk groups.

소아 골수이형성 증후군에서 조혈모세포이식의 단기간 결과 분석

이진,김소연,조빈,장필상,정낙균,김학기,Lee, Jin,Kim, Soh Yeon,Cho, Bin,Jang, Pil Sang,Chung, Nak Gyun,Kim, Hack Ki 대한소아청소년과학회 2002 Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics (CEP) Vol.45 No.3

목 적 : 소아의 골수이형성 증후군은 드문 질환군으로 예후가 매우 불량하며 화학요법으로는 완치가 어렵다. 유일한 완치요법으로서 조혈모세포이식이 시행되고 있으나 소아의 경우 증례가 적어 이에 대한 체계적 결과 분석이 빈약한 실정이다. 저자들은 골수이형성증후군에서 조혈모세포이식을 시행한 증례들의 단기간의 결과와 이식합병증들을 분석하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1995년 11월부터 2001년 1월까지 가톨릭대학교 성모병원 소아과에서 골수이형성 증후군으로 조혈모세포이식을 시행 받은 10명의 환아를 대상으로 하였다. 대상질환은 CMMoL 5례, RAEB 3례, RAEBt 2례이었고, 이식형태는 HLA-일치 형제간 골수이식 4례, 비혈연간 골수이식이 4례, 제대혈 조혈모세포이식이 1례, 가족간 HLA-부분일치 조혈모세포이식이 1례이었다. 전처치로는 BuCy 5례, TBI+BuCy 2례, BuCy+ATG, TBI+Cy 및 TBI+Melphalan이 각각 1례에서 사용되었다. 결 과 : 1) 10명 모두 생착(100%)되었으며 현재 8명(80%)이 무병생존(3-65개월, 정중 추적기간 11개월) 중이다. 2) 이식전처치로 인한 합병증으로 VOD가 3례에서 관찰되었으나 사망한 예는 없었다. 3) II-III도의 급성 이식편대 숙주병은 5례(50%)에서 발생하였으며 II가 4례, III가 1례이었다. 급성 이식 편대 숙주병과 관련된 사망은 없었다. 4) 전체 환아 10례 중 3례에서 이식 후 재발되었으나 1례는 화학요법 후 조혈모세포구제술에 의하여 현재 무병생존 중이며 2례는 사망하였다. 결 론: 소아 골수이형성 증후군에서 조혈모세포이식은 질환을 완치시킬 수 있는 우수한 결과를 보여주고 있으나 아직 증례가 적고 추적기간이 짧아 향후 더 많은 연구가 필요하다. Purpose : In most cases, myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS) transforms into a more aggressive state or acute myelogenous leukemia; it's prognosis is very poor. It is believed that hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT) is the only curative treatment of MDS, but available data in children are very sparse. In this report, the short term outcome of HSCT in childhood MDS was analyzed. Methods : Ten children with MDS(CMMoL 5, RAEB 3, RAEBt 2) underwent HSCT(HLA-matched sibling transplantation 4, HLA-matched unrelated transplantation 4, cord blood transplantation 1, HLA-mismatched familial transplantation 1) between November 1995 and January 2001 at St. Mary's Hospital. Median follow-up duration was 11 months. Results : Engraftment was successful in all cases and 8 patients are alive without disease. Three cases of VOD were observed and improved without complication. Four cases of grade II and 1 case of grade III acute GVHD were observed and well controlled with treatment. Three patients relapsed after transplantation. One patient is alive without disease after cytoreduction with allogenic stem cell rescue and 2 patients died of relapse. Conclusion : HSCT is a curative strategy of MDS and the survival rate is relatively higher than that of adults. But there is an obvious need for more studies because of the small number of patients and the short duration of the follow-up.

White blood cell and absolute neutrophil count in the group treated with ITZA increased early days of treatment, so the duration of neutropenia in ITZA group is shorter. Serum creatinine level is lower in ITZA group than in ABV group but this is not statistically significant. There was no significant difference in response rate between two groups. The IL-1β was increased in ABV treatment group and the ratio of IL-1Ra/IL-1β is markedly decreased in ABV treatment group while increased in ITZA group. Conclusion : ITZA and ABV have at least equivalent efficacy as empirical antifungal therapy in neutropenic children with acute leukemia. However ITZA is associated with significantly less toxicity in clinical and molecular aspects.

Background: In kidney transplantation, donor specific transfusion may induce tolerance as a result of some immune regulatory cells against the graft. In organ transplantation, the immune state arises from a relationship between the immunocompromised graft and the immunocompetent host. However, a reverse immunological situation exists between the graft and the host in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In addition, early IL-2 injections after an allogeneic murine HSCT have been shown to prevent lethal graft versus host disease (GVHD) due to CD4+ cells. We investigated the induction of the regulatory CD4+CD25+ cells after a transfusion of irradiated recipient cells with IL-2 into a donor. Methods: The splenocytes (SP) were obtained from 6 week-old BALB/c mice ($H-2^d$) and irradiated as a single cell suspension. The donor mice (C3H/He, $H-2^k$) received $5{\times}10^6$ irradiated SP, and 5,000 IU IL-2 injected intraperitoneally on the day prior to HSCT. The CD4+CD25+ cell populations in SP treated C3H/He were analyzed. In order to determine the in vivo effect of CD4+CD25+ cells, the lethally irradiated BALB/c were transplanted with $1{\times}10^7$ donor BM and $5{\times}10^6$ CD4+CD25+ cells. The other recipient mice received either $1{\times}10^7$ donor BM with $5{\times}10^6$ CD4+ CD25- cells or the untreated SP. The survival and GVHD was assessed daily by a clinical scoring system. Results: In the MLR assay, BALB/c SP was used as a stimulator with C3H/He SP, as a responder, with or without treatment. The inhibition of proliferation was $30.0{\pm}13%$ compared to the control. In addition, the MLR with either the CD4+CD25+ or CD4+CD25- cells, which were isolated by MidiMacs, from the C3H/He SP treated with the recipient SP and IL-2 was evaluated. The donor SP treated with the recipient cells and IL-2 contained more CD4+CD25+ cells ($5.4{\pm}1.5%$) than the untreated mice SP ($1.4{\pm}0.3%$)(P<0.01). There was a profound inhibition in the CD4+CD25+ cells ($61.1{\pm}6.1%$), but a marked proliferation in the CD4+CD25- cells ($129.8{\pm}65.2%$). Mice in the CD4+CD25+ group showed low GVHD scores and a slow progression from the post-HSCT day 4 to day 9, but those in the control and CD4+CD25- groups had a high score and rapid progression (P<0.001). The probability of survival was 83.3% in the CD4+CD25+ group until post-HSC day 35 and all mice in the control and CD4+CD25- groups died on post-HSCT day 8 or 9 (P=0.0105). Conclusion: Donor graft engineering with irradiated recipient SP and IL-2 (recipient specific transfusion) can induce abundant regulatory CD4+CD25+ cells to prevent GVHD.
