Donor vaccination to minor HA as a potential strategy to separate GVHD from GVL and pathogen-specific immunity after BMT. Donors are vaccinated with recipient minor Histocompatibility Antigens (mHA) to generate memory T cells (Tm). Stem cell grafts are subsequently harvested and naive T cells (Tn) depleted such that only stem cells (CD34+) and memory T cells with specificity for recipient hematopoiesis (ie, leukemia) and pathogens are transferred.
