Successful implantation of allogeneic bone marrow (BM) cells after nonmyeloablative conditioning would allow to compensate for the inadequate supply of compatible grafts and to reduce mortality of graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD). Recently, we proposed to facilitate engraftment of mismatched BM by conditioning for alloantigen-primed lymphocyte depletion (APLD) with cyclophosphamide (CY). Here we summarize the experimental results obtained by this approach.
