Merad, M. et al. Depletion of host Langerhans cells before transplantation of donor alloreactive T cells prevents skin graft-versus-host disease.Nature Med.10, 510–517 (2004).This paper establishes that recipient Langerhans cells that survive conditioning are sufficient to induce GVHD. This has i...
graft-versus-host disease (redirected fromGraft-vs-host disease) Medical graft-ver·sus-host disease (grăft′vûr′səs-hōst′, -səz-) n. A condition in which cells from the transplanted tissue of a donor initiate an immunologic attack on the cells and tissue of the recipient. ...
Graft-versus-host disease(GVHD) is a condition that is seen in a significant number of patients who have undergone an allogenic bone marrow or stem cell transplant, usually as part of therapy for leukemia or other life-threatening disorders. Cytotoxic drugs and radiation are typically used to de...

Graft-versus-host disease is a potentially serious complication in a recipient of an allograft (usually a haematopoietic stem cell transplant) that arises from the attack of recipient tissues (such as the skin, liver or gut) by donor-derived T cells. ...
The global Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GvHD) treatment market is segmented into seven notable segments based on treatment, type, gender, age, method of administration, end user, and distributionchannel. On the basis of treatment, the market is segmented into medication and therapy. ...

Chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) can be defined as a chronic multisystemic immune deviation disease, which is accompanied by the absence of an adequate immune tolerance of donor-derived immune effector cells against the recipient's tissues and cells after the engraftment of the allogeneic ...
