Oncoimmunology. 2014 Mar 17:3:e28187. doi: 10.4161/onci.28187. eCollection 2014.

Abstract

Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) is an established and potentially curative immune therapy for relapsed leukemia after hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Herein, we describe the utility of DLI as a tractable model system to glean fresh insights into understanding and predicting effective anti-leukemia immunity.

Keywords: CML; T cell exhaustion; donor lymphocyte infusion; stem cell transplantation; tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.
