Published: May 1995

A successful cord blood transplantation combined with hematopoietic growth factor was performed in a boy presenting with refractory mediastinal T-cell lymphoma. Cord blood cells were collected from an HLA-identical sibling at the time of delivery. A transient and corticosensitive acute grade II graft versus host disease was observed. One year after transplantation, the child is still in remission with complete engraftment. This is the first report of cord blood transplantation in a patient with refractory lymphoma.

Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a complex auto-inflammatory disease affecting the brain and spinal cord, which results in axonal de-myelination and symptoms including fatigue, pain, and difficulties with vision and mobility. The involvement of the immune system in the pathology of MS is well established, particularly the adaptive T cell response, and there has been a particular focus on the IL-17-producing subset of Th17 cells and their role in driving disease.
