Implication

Translational study demonstrates reduced relapse, graft rejection, and GVHD from donor NK-cell alloreactivity in hematopoietic transplants, indicating a safer graft approach.

Key Points

To determine whether donor-versus-recipient natural killer cell alloreactivity can prevent leukemia relapse, graft rejection, and graft-versus-host disease in mismatched hematopoietic transplants.
Evaluated the impact of donor-versus-recipient NK-cell alloreactivity in patients receiving human mismatched hematopoietic grafts.
Tested pretransplant infusions of alloreactive NK cells in murine transplant models to determine effects on conditioning intensity requirements and graft-versus-host disease.
Donor NK-cell alloreactivity eliminated leukemia relapse and graft failure while protecting patients against graft-versus-host disease.
Pretransplant infusion of alloreactive NK cells in mice eliminated the requirement for high-intensity conditioning and reduced graft-versus-host disease.
