Mehta J, Gordon LI, Tallman MS, et al., Does younger donor age affect the outcome
of reduced - intensity
allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for hematologic malignancies beneficially?
Use
of a lower dose
of rabbit anti — T - lymphocyte globulin (ATLG) was superior to a higher dose in children with hematologic malignancies undergoing
allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from an unrelated donor, according to the results
of a study published in Lancet Oncology.
Allogeneic cell therapies involving primary
cell types such as bone marrow mesenchymal stromal /
stem cells (BM - MSCs),
hematopoietic stem and progenitor
cells (HSPCs), and T and natural killer (NK)
cells for immunotherapy applications are especially challenging because

of pediatric patients showed lower doses
of rabbit anti — T - lymphocyte globulin (ATLG) was superior to a higher dose in children with hematologic malignancies undergoing

Thus, one can transplant fully
allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells and co-transplant, for example, hearts from the
hematopoietic stem cell donor to induce lifelong donor - specific acceptance
of the transplant, without deleterious immunosuppression [4].
