Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation of Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

  • Chapter
Advances in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 101))

Abstract

The standard treatment for autoimmune diseases is immune modulation or suppression. For patients with severe autoimmune diseases, some studies suggest a benefit of intensifying immunosuppression to the point of myelosuppression or myeloablation (1-12). In this setting reconstitution of a new hematopoietic and immune system is facilitated by infusion of hematopoietic progenitor cells (CD34+ cells) which expand and differentiate into T and B cells, macrophages, and monocytes.
