The poor survival rates of refractory/relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients after haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) requires the development additional immune therapeutic strategies. As elicitation tumor-antigen specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) is associated with reduced relapses and enhanced survival, priming these CTLs using an anti-AML vaccine may result in long-term immunity against AML. Cord blood (CB), as allogeneic HCT source, provide a unique setting for such...
Reactivation of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is hazardous to patients undergoing allogeneic cord blood transplantation (CBT), lowering survival rates by approximately 25%. While antiviral treatment ameliorates viremia, complete viral control requires CD8+ T-cell-driven immunity. Mouse studies suggest that cognate antigen-specific CD4+ T-cell licensing dendritic cells (DCs) required generate effective responses. For humans, this was not fully understood. We here show T are essential for DCs...

Elicit potent CD8+ T cell responses by dentritic (DC) vaccination to reduce viral reactivations in children and adults after cord blood transplantation (CBT). Although CB grafts have multiple advantages over conventional stem grafts, relapses re-activations remain serious obstacles undergoing CBT. New strategies are needed increase early specific adaptive immune CBT order establish full clearance of, long-term immunological memory against viruses. Improvement the presentation of...
