Repository: Evaluation of Immunoregulatory Cells in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant

December 12, 2008 updated by: Vanderbilt University

Repository for Study: Evaluation of Immunoregulatory Cells in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT)

This is a repository to store blood and stem cell samples for future research.

Study Overview

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.
