Graft vs Host Disease, Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

T-Lymphocyte Subsets
Brief summary
This is a repository to store blood and stem cell samples for future research.
Detailed description
Our Hypothesis is that the graft-versus-tumor effect can be enhanced while minimizing the complications of GVHD by determining the qualitative and quantitative changes in T regulatory cells throughout the transplant process. Our understanding of this can lead to new treatment strategies and improved clinical therapeutic implications.
