Purging In Bone Marrow Transplantation (Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit)

By Subhash C. Gulati

This book discusses the rationale for the use of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation after high dose cytotoxic therapy. Gulatis describes methods for ex-vivo elimination (purging) of stem cells, with emphasis on preclinical investigations and how to evaluate the clinical benefit. He also presents methods for eliminating T-cells in patients undergoing allogeneic BMT. Information related to complication of purging haematopoietic stem cell transplantations and unresolved issues that need further study are discussed.
