Chronic, stable mixed chimerism of both lymphocytes and erythrocytes was observed in semiallogeneic murine recipients of T-cell-depleted bone marrow transplants that had been conditioned with supralethal total-body irradiation (1100 cGy). Mixed chimerism was extensive, with a wide range of donor engraftment persisting for at least one year after transplant. In both erythrocyte and lymphocyte lineages, decreasing donor engraftment correlated with decreasing marrow dose; however, complete red cell engraftment was more easily achieved than complete lymphocyte engraftment. There were no late graft failures, even among animals exhibiting a substantial host component of hematopoiesis. The extent of mixed hematopoietic chimerism therefore appears to be much greater than had been expected in recipients of T-cell-depleted bone marrow transplants.

We evaluated letermovir (LTV) for secondary prophylaxis for cytomegalovirus (CMV) in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant recipients (HCT) at high-risk for CMV recurrence. This open-label study was conducted at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the University of Minnesota. Patients with clinically significant CMV infection (cs-CMVi) and ≥1 high-risk criteria for CMV who achieved viral suppression with standard CMV antivirals received LTV secondary prophylaxis for up to 14 weeks.

Because of the low mutational burden and consequently, fewer potential neoantigens, children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are thought to have a T cell-depleted or 'cold' tumor microenvironment and may have a low likelihood of response to T cell-directed immunotherapies. Understanding the composition, phenotype, and spatial organization of T cells and other microenvironmental populations in the pediatric AML bone marrow (BM) is essential for informing future immunotherapeutic trials about targetable immune-evasion mechanisms specific to pediatric AML. Here, we conducted a multidimensional analysis of the tumor immune microenvironment in pediatric AML and non-leukemic controls.

Introduction: Invasive fungal infections are a primary cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with haematological malignancies.
Case Presentation: We describe an unusual clinical and radiological presentation of invasive mucormycosis (IM) in a 69-year-old patient with relapsed acute myeloid leukaemia. The patient was diagnosed with disseminated IM with involvement of the central nervous system in an atypical location, lung, spleen, muscle, bone, and heart, after having completed induction and bridging chemotherapy to allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).

Donor lymphocyte infusions (DLIs) are often recommended products after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant to increase graft - versus - leukemia effect. More success rate of DLI has been reported in relapsed posttransplant chronic myeloid leukemia. Whatever the indication for DLI, mortality related to post-DLI infusion is 5%-20%, and more than one-third of patients will develop acute and/or chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) after DLI.

Microbiome research has gained much attention in recent years as the importance of gut microbiota in regulating host health becomes increasingly evident. However, the impact of radiation on the microbiota in the murine bone marrow transplantation model is still poorly understood. In this paper, we present key findings from our study on how radiation, followed by bone marrow transplantation with or without T cell depletion, impacts the microbiota in the ileum and caecum.
