Abstract
⺠We study GSTT1 donor/recipient mismatch in hematopoietic stem cell transplant. ⺠Null genotype parous female donors sometimes carry memory B cells against GSTT1. ⺠After the transplant, anti-GSTT1 ab-production against recipient's ag is triggered. ⺠GSTT1 mismatch and GSTT1 abs are risk factors for hepatic graft-versus-host-disease. ⺠GSTT1 is a new minor histocompatibility antigen involved in GVHD.
