Mice homozygous for the mutant autosomal recessive gene "scid" which is located on the centromeric end of chromosome 16. These mice lack mature, functional lymphocytes and are thus highly susceptible to lethal opportunistic infections if not chronically treated with antibiotics. The lack of B- and T-cell immunity resembles severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) syndrome in human infants. SCID mice are useful as animal models since they are receptive to implantation of a human immune system producing SCID-human (SCID-hu) hematochimeric mice.

Identification of the major histocompatibility antigens of transplant DONORS and potential recipients, usually by serological tests. Donor and recipient pairs should be of identical ABO blood group, and in addition should be matched as closely as possible for HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in order to minimize the likelihood of allograft rejection.

Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells. (From The Merck Manual, 2006)

Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.

Any of a group of malignant tumors of lymphoid tissue that differ from HODGKIN DISEASE, being more heterogeneous with respect to malignant cell lineage, clinical course, prognosis, and therapy. The only common feature among these tumors is the absence of giant REED-STERNBERG CELLS, a characteristic of Hodgkin's disease.

A class of drugs that differs from other alkylating agents used clinically in that they are monofunctional and thus unable to cross-link cellular macromolecules. Among their common properties are a requirement for metabolic activation to intermediates with antitumor efficacy and the presence in their chemical structures of N-methyl groups, that after metabolism, can covalently modify cellular DNA. The precise mechanisms by which each of these drugs acts to kill tumor cells are not completely understood. (From AMA, Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p2026)

Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past.

Intravenous administration of human umbilical cord blood reduces behavioral deficits after stroke in rats. (1/440)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Human umbilical cord blood cells (HUCBC) are rich in stem and progenitor cells. In this study we tested whether intravenously infused HUCBC enter brain, survive, differentiate, and improve neurological functional recovery after stroke in rats. In addition, we tested whether ischemic brain tissue extract selectively induces chemotaxis of HUCBC in vitro. METHODS: Adult male Wistar rats were subjected to transient (2-hour) middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Experimental groups were as follows: group 1, MCAO alone (n=5); group 2, 3x10(6) HUCBC injected into tail vein at 24 hours after MCAO (n=6) (animals of groups 1 and 2 were killed at 14 days after MCAO); group 3, MCAO alone (n=5); group 4, MCAO injected with PBS at 1 day after stroke (n=8); and group 5, 3x10(6) HUCBC injected into tail vein at 7 days after MCAO (n=5). Rats of groups 3, 4, and 5 were killed at 35 days after MCAO. Behavioral tests (rotarod and Modified Neurological Severity Score [mNSS]) were performed. Immunohistochemical staining was used to identify cells derived from HUCBC. Chemotactic activity of ischemia brain tissue extracts toward HUCBC at different time points was evaluated in vitro. RESULTS: Treatment at 24 hours after MCAO with HUCBC significantly improved functional recovery, as evidenced by the rotarod test and mNSS (P<0.05). Treatment at 7 days after MCAO with HUCBC significantly improved function only on the mNSS (P<0.05). Some HUCBC were reactive for the astrocyte marker glial fibrillary acidic protein and the neuronal markers NeuN and microtubule-associated protein 2. In vitro, significant HUCBC migration activity was present at 24 hours after MCAO (P<0.01) compared with normal brain tissue. CONCLUSIONS: Intravenously administered HUCBC enter brain, survive, migrate, and improve functional recovery after stroke. HUCBC transplantation may provide a cell source to treat stroke. (+info)

Listeriosis in recipients of allogeneic blood and marrow transplantation: thirteen year review of disease characteristics, treatment outcomes and a new association with human cytomegalovirus infection. (2/440)

Listeriosis is uncommon in recipients of allogeneic blood, marrow and organ transplantation. Six patients with systemic Listeria monocytogenes infection during 1985-1997 at Bone Marrow Transplantation Service, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center are described. In two male and four female patients, the median duration from transplantation to isolation of L. monocytogenes was 62.5 (range 29 to 821) days. Among five allogeneic marrow transplant recipients, four (80%) received HLA antigen matched, T cell-depleted grafts from three unrelated and a single related donor. One patient underwent mismatched-related marrow graft transplant. Cord stem cell transplantation was performed in a single patient. Two required therapy for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The 13 year incidence of systemic Listeria infections was 0.47 percent. All six presented with fever (>39 degrees C), and L. monocytogenes bloodstream invasion. Mental status changes and meningioencephalitis were observed in two (33.3%). A concurrent primary opportunistic infection was present in five individuals (83.3%), and four (80%) were being treated for acute human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) viremia. Sixty-six percent responded to therapy and two died from unrelated, non-listeric causes. Systemic listeriosis was uncommon in our high-risk allogeneic blood and marrow transplantation population, and response to therapy with parenteral ampicillin and gentamicin was excellent. The association between primary HCMV reactivation and subsequent listeric infection emphasizes the significance of HCMV-related dysfunction in hosts' cellular immune responses, especially in the setting of allogeneic transplantation.

Human herpesvirus-6 encephalitis after unrelated umbilical cord blood transplant in children. (3/440)

Three children developed human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6), variant B encephalitis after unrelated umbilical cord blood transplant, in a single center. They developed clinical manifestations of encephalitis around day 17 post transplant. Impairment of consciousness, incoherent speech, episodic focal pruritus, motor weakness, convulsions and severe hyponatremia were features at presentation. Radiological investigation of brain ranged from unremarkable to extensive white matter and meningeal lesions. Diagnosis was established by the presence of HHV-6 DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Retrospective analyses of plasma revealed the presence of viral DNAemia prior to the onset of disease in two subjects. Treatment with ganciclovir or foscarnet was given. Two subjects did not achieve engraftment and died of other transplant-related complications on day 38 and 56 post-transplant, respectively. One subject achieved disease-free survival for more than 1 year with a satisfactory neurological outcome. In conclusion, HHV-6 encephalitis is not uncommon among patients undergoing umbilical cord blood transplantation. It is worth conducting further studies on early diagnosis and optimal management of this potentially fatal disease. (+info)

Successful treatment of relapsed blastic natural killer cell lymphoma with unrelated cord blood transplantation. (4/440)

The prognosis for blastic natural killer (NK) cell lymphoma is generally dismal. We report a patient who was successfully treated with unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT). A 15-year-old boy was diagnosed as having blastic NK cell lymphoma in the cervical lymph nodes. Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation was performed on achieving a complete remission. However, the disease recurred in the bone marrow 6 months later. Chemotherapy induced a second remission and the patient received UCBT with a conditioning regimen consisting of total body irradiation, thiotepa and cyclophosphamide. Chronic GVHD of the lung occurred, but it was well controlled with steroids. At the time of writing, he remains in remission 18 months after UCBT with an excellent performance status. UCBT may be an option for patients with blastic NK cell lymphoma. (+info)

Combination treatment of bullous pemphigoid with anti-CD20 and anti-CD25 antibodies in a patient with chronic graft-versus-host disease. (5/440)

In this case report we describe a novel treatment with two chimeric monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) targeting the autoimmune B cell clone responsible for bullous pemphigoid (BP) as a manifestation of steroid refractory chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) that developed after unrelated cord blood transplantation. Monitoring the BP-specific circulating antibodies and CD25-expressing activated T lymphocyte subset led us to combine anti-CD20 (Rituximab) mediated B cell ablation with anti-CD25 (Daclizumab) therapy to block CD4(+) T cell help. Complete clinical and serologic response was achieved within 4 weeks of initiation of therapy allowing global immunosuppression to be dramatically reduced. (+info)

A successful liver transplantation for refractory hepatic veno-occlusive disease originating from cord blood transplantation. (6/440)

An 11-month-old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) underwent umbilical cord blood transplantation (CBT) from an unrelated donor after a first complete remission. Despite the prophylactic use of low molecular weight heparin, prostaglandin E1 and ursodeoxycholic acid, hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) occurred on the 29th day after CBT. Furthermore, neither defibrotide nor antithrombin-III improved the hepatic coma and coagulopathy due to the hepatic VOD. On the 42nd day after CBT, he underwent living related liver transplantation (LRLT) with a left lateral segment graft from his father. He received tacrolimus for the prevention of rejection and graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) and also received aggressive antifungal and antiviral prophylaxis. Although he showed signs of acute rejection on postoperative days 5 and 10, the postoperative course was uneventful in general. At present, 17 months after LRLT, the patient shows stable liver function and no signs of either GVHD or a relapse of ALL. In conclusion, LRLT can be seen as a feasible option for the treatment of a hepatic VOD after CBT, though aggressive prophylaxis for infection and the anticipation of acute rejection are of importance.

"Saviour siblings". (7/440)

The Victorian Infertility Treatment Authority has given permission to allow tissue typing in combination with preimplantation genetic diagnosis. This is a new application of IVF. Not only will it allow parents to select an embryo free from serious genetic disease it will allow them to simultaneously select for a match so that the umbilical cord blood of the resulting baby can provide stem cells to treat an existing sibling who has a disease.

Induction of graft-versus-host disease and a graft-versus-leukemia effect using ubenimex in a patient with infantile leukemia relapsing after an unrelated cord blood transplant. (8/440)

A 20-month-old boy with infantile leukemia was treated with total body irradiation, etoposide, cyclophosphamide and unrelated cord blood transplantation with a one-antigen mismatch. He relapsed on day 100 and achieved remission after ubenimex administration, and also developed chronic graft-versus-host disease of the skin. He remained in remission for 22 months with repeated courses of ubenimex. Ubenimex may be an alternative to donor lymphocyte transfusion and may be useful for the treatment of a patient who has relapsed after cord blood transplantation. (+info)

Studies have shown that, when looking at the 6 most important HLA types, cord blood transplants with only 4 of 6 HLA match are just as successful as bone marrow transplants that are 6 of 6 matched, in terms of long-term patient survival. (parentsguidecordblood.org)
But the biggest disadvantage of cord blood transplants is that it takes longer for the stem cells from cord blood donations to "engraft", so that the patient's immune system recovers. (parentsguidecordblood.org)
At the Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañon, in Madrid, our research on cord blood transplants is focused on ways to combine cord blood stem cells with other donated stem cells so that patients will receive a full cell dose and will have faster engraftment. (parentsguidecordblood.org)
Our group has developed a strategy called "dual" or "haplo-cord" transplants: patients receive stem cells from a single cord blood unit combined with stem cells from the bone marrow of a donor who is "haploidentical" to the patient. (parentsguidecordblood.org)
Haplo-cord transplants have been shown to reduce the patient's engraftment time, because the haploidentical donor cells engraft faster than the cord blood cells. (parentsguidecordblood.org)
Our group conducted the first clinical trial to compare outcomes of haplo-cord transplants versus MUD bone marrow transplants, for patients diagnosed with high-risk leukemias. (parentsguidecordblood.org)
In this study, 25 patients received traditional MUD bone marrow transplants and 20 patients received haplo-cord transplants. (parentsguidecordblood.org)
The key result of the study was that outcome measures were comparable between the two groups of patients: haplo-cord transplants are just as good as traditional MUD bone marrow transplants for long-term survival. (parentsguidecordblood.org)
Stem cell transplants using bone marrow or blood plus chemotherapy can help. (centerwatch.com)
PBSCs are easier to collect and have more cells that help transplants. (centerwatch.com)
Autologous transplants are used less frequently than allogeneic transplants for AML patients mainly because of the lack of a graft-versus-leukemia effect and the risk of returning some leukemia cells back to the patient. (lls.org)
Enacting this bill will also reaffirm the commitment that Congress made three decades ago to help patients with blood cancers and other life-threatening diseases by increasing access to life-saving transplants. (cryo-cell.com)

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) involves the intravenous infusion of hematopoietic stem cells in order to reestablish blood cell production in patients whose bone marrow or immune system is damaged or defective. (medscape.com)
Cells for HSCT may be obtained from the patient himself or herself (autologous transplant) or from another person, such as a sibling or unrelated donor (allogeneic transplant) or an identical twin (syngeneic transplant). (medscape.com)
The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP), founded in 1986, and the World Marrow Donor Association (WMDA), founded in 1988, were established to (1) locate and secure appropriate unrelated-donor HSCT sources for patients by promoting volunteer donation of bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cells in the community and (2) promote ethical practices of sharing stem cell sources by need, rather than by geographic location of the donor. (medscape.com)
This, along with the development of unrelated cord blood transplantation and familial haploidentical transplantation methods, have improved the likelihood of finding an appropriate HSCT source in a timely manner. (medscape.com)
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains the only curative treatment in patients with higher risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), but the choice of the optimal alternative stem cell source is still a subject of debate in patients lacking an HLA-matched sibling donor. (ru.nl)
Advances in transfusion and iron chelation improve survival but haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is still the only curative treatment. (hkmj.org)

AB-110 is composed of human umbilical cord blood derived hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells co cultured and expanded with Angiocrine's proprietary E-CEL UVEC cells. (ca.gov)
To optimize the process, we systematically explored the many variables in the system and ultimately succeeded in demonstrating that we could reproducibly expand umbiliical cord stem and progenitor cells over 300-fold in twelve days. (ca.gov)
We then succeeded in demonstrating that cells derived from the two processes are indistinguishable in their cellular composition, their content of stem and progenitor cells as measured in colony forming assays, and their ability to restore the immune system of irradiated mice. (ca.gov)
In addition, we systematically explored the many variables in the co-culture process and ultimately succeeded in demonstrating that we could reproducibly expand umbilical cord stem and progenitor cells over hundred fold, to numbers similar to what is expected of cell numbers from adult sources, and within two weeks or less, which is regarded by transplant physicians as a time frame that would be compatible with clinical practice. (ca.gov)
We then succeeded in demonstrating that cells derived from the two processes are indistinguishable in their cellular composition, their content of stem and progenitor cells as measured by flow cytometry and colony forming assays. (ca.gov)
Globally, it is estimated that 120 000 corneal transplantations and 18 000 transplantations of allogeneic haematopoietic progenitor cells took place in the year 2000. (who.int)
Quite how these stem cells promote regeneration will require further assessment, but as we now have the means to amplify and assess large number of functional progenitor cells in vitro, this strategy could develop into an important approach to battle diabetes. (stemcellsportal.com)

Cord blood from a child itself, or from a sibling has the amazing potential to restore the bone marrow, blood and immune cell systems following chemotherapy. (smartcells.com)
If sibling cord blood is used, then the donor cells may also have the ability to attack cancer cells remaining in a patient or replace a bone marrow deficiency with healthy cells after chemotherapy. (smartcells.com)

HLA-mismatched unrelated donor or cord blood seem to give similar inferior results except for neutrophil engraftment, which is delayed after UCB. (ru.nl)
This ability to reduce blood sugar levels correlated to ALDHhi cell engraftment in the mouse bone marrow, but not engraftment into the mouse pancreas. (stemcellsportal.com)
Can we engineer reselected cells to improve migration and engraftment after transplantation? (stemcellsportal.com)
However, this engraftment is transient, and only acts as a bridge - eventually the stem cells from the cord blood donor take over, replace the haploidentical donor cells, and engraft permanently. (parentsguidecordblood.org)
The median time for bone marrow engraftment was similar in the two groups, 16 days for MUD and 14 days for halo-cord. (parentsguidecordblood.org)
However, engraftment patterns have varied substantially and in some patients, cord engraftment was profoundly delayed or never occurred. (centerwatch.com)
