Thus, prophylactic transfusion of donor T-cells has been included in many protocols, despite the increased risk for acute GvHD ( Kolb, 2008 ). (frontiersin.org)

We were able to identify two ligands and two receptors that account for all the effects of Notch signaling in GVHD, with a dominant role for just one ligand-receptor pair," Dr. Maillard explains. (genengnews.com)
When the researchers used antibodies to inhibit the target Notch ligands, mice had none of the gastrointestinal side effects that came with global inhibition of Notch-and they did not develop GVHD. (genengnews.com)
The effects of Notch blockade could be traced to decreased inflammation as well as increased expansion of regulatory T cells that suppress GVHD, Dr. Maillard says. (genengnews.com)
These cells expand and help prevent both rejection of the graft and GvHD. (emory.edu)
These T cells are not alloreactive and do not induce GVHD but can exhibit potent anti-leukemia and anti-infectious activities. (bethematchclinical.org)

These substances include, for instance, granulocyte- colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), which is added so that the donors own bone marrow will make and produce more stem cells that will end up in the bloodstream. (differencebetween.net)
Further benefits are that the platelets and neutrophil cells (one of the white blood cells) are more easily able to recover if this method is used compared with the bone marrow procedure. (differencebetween.net)
The donor first has to be treated with G-CSF, and then the stem cells can only be harvested a couple of days after the donor since time is needed for the donor's body to form more stem cells and transport these cells into the bloodstream. (differencebetween.net)
This is necessary because it is a rather painful process in which a needle is inserted directly into the marrow cavity of the bone and stem cells withdrawn. (differencebetween.net)
The advantage is that granulocyte- colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) does not have to be given to the donor since the procedure involves going to the source of the stem cells, which is the bone marrow. (differencebetween.net)
