   Author : Annika M Kisch; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation; Confidentiality; Information and care model; Quality of life; Perspectives; Sibling donor; Stem cell donation;

   Abstract : Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hereafter HSCT) is an established treatment which offers a potential cure for a variety of diseases, mainly haematological malignancies. However, the treatment is also associated with significant risks of acute complications and late side effects, including mortality. READ MORE

   Author : Ingrid Näsman Björk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : B cell repertoire allogeneic bone marrow transplantation immune reconstitution immunoglobulin genes serum immunoglobulin;

   Abstract : Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is an established therapy for patients with a variety of haematological malignancies. Patients undergoing BMT often suffer from severe infections that can be partly explained by humoral immune deficiency. READ MORE

5. 3. Immune moldulatory effects of intravenous immunoglobulin in vitro and after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation

   Keywords : IVIG; IgG; F ab 2; Fc; immune modulation; T cell responses; Bcell responses; cytokines; bone marrow transplantation; infections; CMV; graft-versus-hostdisease;

   Abstract : Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been used in patients with immunodeficiencies and various autoimmune diseases. Its immune modulatory effect is well documented. In allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) IVIG has been used to reduce the incidence of infections and graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). READ MORE
