The influence of the graft monocytes in the outcome of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation

Abstract

The influence of graft monocytes on graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) has not yet been established in clinical trials. To understand this association better, we evaluated the influence of bone marrow graft monocytes aiming to analyze, primarily, the correlation with acute GVHD and chronic GVHD and, secondarily, the correlation with engraftment and survival.
