Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following orthotopic liver transplantation is a rare but severe disease with a 75% death rate in adults. Various therapeutic strategies have been proposed for steroid-refractory GVHD, but there is still no consensus. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha is a key inflamm
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) often occurs after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). GVHD may lead to cirrhosis or complete destruction of the bile ducts, and few effective treatment options exist for such cases. Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) has been described as an option, but to date t
Patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation are at high risk of developing acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) which is a primary limiting factor for this procedure inasmuch as it is responsible for high morbidity rates and is associated with poor survival outcome. To provide improved treatme
