Every year, thousands of Canadians receive transplants of solid organs, stems cells and pancreatic islet cells. End-stage renal, liver, lung, heart, pancreatic and small intestine failure can be treated by organ replacement.

La greffe de cellules souches hématopoïétiques(GCSH) est utilisée pour traiter un certain nombre d’affections malignes et non malignes [...] La greffe permet d’administrer un traitement hautement myéloablatif de chimiothérapie avec ou sans radiothérapie(normalement létale pour la moelle osseuse), en vue de détruire les cellules tumorales sans se soucier de la toxicité hématologique qui sera contrebalancée par la transfusion de cellules souches hématopoïétiques. En général, ce traitement est administré en cas de maladie chimiosensible. 3, record 3, French, - transplantation%20de%20cellules%20souches%20h%C3%A9matopo%C3%AF%C3%A9tiques

The significance of mixed chimerism has been well studied in the later post-transplant period. By this stage, the immunological events giving rise to graft-versus-host disease, graft-versus-leukemia or graft rejection may be confused by inability to distinguish between mature T-cells infused with the graft and stem cell derived T-cells that are tolerant to host antigens. 3, record 4, English, - graft%20versus%20leukemia

Un greffon hématopoïétique allogénique comprend des cellules souches capables de reconstituer, de façon durable une hématopoïèse complète. Il comprend aussi des cellules matures, immunocompétentes, susceptibles de reconnaître l'hôte comme étranger. Cette réactivité allogénique est responsable, d’une part, d’une complication de la greffe, la GvH(graft versus hôte) et d’autre part, d’effets bénéfiques, sur la prise du greffon et surtout d’une activité antitumorale, la GvL(graft versus leukemia). 1, record 4, French, - GvL
