ABSTRACT

The final chapter of this volume has been compiled in an effort to present advances made

in the area of graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) and graft-vs.-leukemia (GVL) research while

in production. The first section focuses on the experimental advances made with respect to

the immunobiology of GVHD, the second on advances in understanding GVL activity, and

the third section reviews relevant therapeutic and prognostic advances that have been

made in clinical GVHD.
