Allogeneic Immunotherapy for Malignant Diseases (Electronic book text)

A comprehensive review of the graft-versus-leukaemia (GVS) or -tumour (GVT) effect following allogeneic stem cell transplantation and lymphocyte transfusion, covering a wide range of topics from alloimmune responses to clinical applications of GVL. It seeks to provide an understanding of the mechanisms of the GVL effect while demonstrating methods that use the GVL effect to cure more cancer patients. The volume presents preliminary data on how allogeneic stem cell therapy may be used not only for the treatment of leukaemia but also for metastatic solid tumours.
