Correlation Between the Kinetics of CD3+ Chimerism and the Incidence of Graft-Versus-Host Disease in Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Our results supported the belief that chimerism kinetics or longitudinal chimerism evaluation is of greater significance than isolated absolute values of the percentage of chimerism at a single point after HSCT. The observations suggest that longitudinal monitoring of chimerism in CD3+ T-cell subsets is an acceptable method to predict the development of GvHD among patients undergoing HSCT.
