Monitoring of Chimerism After Transplantation in Patients With β Thalassemia Major and the Treatment Strategies for the Reduction of Chimerism

• Participant gender: All

Summary

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is currently the only way to cure thalassemia, one of its main obstacles is the rejection after transplantation, chimerism continued to decline, which eventually lead to transplant failure. chimerism is a key indicator of the succession of immune response, which is a key indicator for predicting the failure of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and provides an important basis for early detection of rejection. Transplantation of continuous chimerism can detect early unstable chimeras and rejection.The chimerism rates after transplantation were continuously monitored using fluorescence labeled multiplex PCR amplification of short tandem repeats (STR-PCR)

,and then follow our STR different rates for early interventional therapy to prevent further reduction in chimerism leading to lead to graft failure.
