Dissertation in short:
Although the allogeneic antileukemic effect is highly effective in AML, relapse and non-relapse mortality is still a concern after alloHSCT. Currently, the major challenge in alloHSCT consists of reducing relapse without increasing the risk for GvHD and to reduce non-relapse mortality. In this thesis different mediators of GvL and strategies to prevent GvHD after alloHSCT, including alternative donors, are discussed. Understanding immunological responses after alloHSCT might provide important knowledge to adapt future strategies and improve survival in AML.
