* Reduced-intensity conditioning in a minority of patients. 
Abbreviations: ALL, acute lymphocytic leukemia; AML, acute myeloid leukemia; BMT, bone marrow transplantation; DFCI, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; DFS, disease-free survival; DLI, donor lymphocyte infusion; GVHD, graft-versus-host disease; MGH, Massachusetts General Hospital; NIMA, non-inherited maternal antigens; PBSCT, peripheral blood stem cell transplantation; TCD, T-cell depletion 
MYELOABLATIVE 
T-cell replete BMT Royal Marsden Hyperacute GVHD; frequent rejection 
Pharmacologic GVHD Prophylaxis Seattle ↑ GVHD with ↑ HLA disparity 
Partial ex vivo TCD, Post-BMT Pharmacoprophylaxis U. South Carolina Good GVHD Protection DFS in ~ 20% 
“Mega-dose” TCD PBSCT Perugia Minimal GVHD Favorable survival in remission AML/ALL 5,11 
 Canada (multi-center) Delayed immune reconstitution with high rates of relapse, infectious deaths 12 
 Emory  13 
Ex vivo T-cell anergization Children’s/DFCI Minimal GVHD 
Donor selection according to fetomaternal chimerism* Japan (multiple centers) ↓ GVHD with donor/recipient mismatched for NIMA 23–26 
NON-MYELOABLATIVE 
Ex vivo/in vivo TCD, delayed DLI MGH “split level” mixed chimerism, conversion of T-cell chimerism after DLI 7,8 
Post-BMT high-dose cyclophosphamide Johns Hopkins Full donor chimerism in most, GVHD in ~ 50% 17 
Ex vivo/in vivo TCD with Campath Duke Low incidence of acute GVHD, high incidence of GVHD after DLI Personal communication
