TRANSPLANTATION OF AUTOLOGOUS AND ALLOGENEIC BONE MARROW WITH LIVER FROM A CADAVERIC DONOR FOR PRIMARY LIVER CANCER1

Abstract

We obtained mixed donor-recipient hematopoietic chimerism without severe acute graft-versus-host-disease, after combined T-cell depleted autologous and allogeneic BMT and a transplantation of a liver from an HLA-mismatched cadaveric donor. Additional donor T-cells enhanced donor bone marrow engraftment, but rejected the autograft. On the basis of this first attempt, further clinical studies are warranted.
