TLDR
Three patients with hematologic relapse after bone marrow transplantation for chronic myelogenous leukemia were treated with interferon alpha and transfusion of viable donor buffy coat and had complete hematological and cytogenetic remission, which persisted 32 to 91 weeks after treatment, an example of adoptive immunotherapy without cytoreductive chemotherapy or radiotherapy in human chimeras.

Graft-Versus-Leukemia Effect of Donor Lymphocyte Transfusions in Marrow Grafted Patients

TL;DR: Donor lymphocyte transfusions exert strong effects against myeloid forms of leukemia and induce durable remissions in CML.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic myeloid leukemia.

TL;DR: This work has demonstrated that CML can be curable through immune-mediated elimination of leukemia cells by allogeneic T lymphocytes, and specific inhibition of signal transduction by the tyrosine kinase Bcr-Abl has been found to be active in managing the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adoptive cell transfer: a clinical path to effective cancer immunotherapy

TL;DR: The ability to genetically engineer human lymphocytes and use them to mediate cancer regression in patients has opened possibilities for the extension of ACT immunotherapy to patients with a wide variety of cancer types and is a promising new approach to cancer treatment.

Hematopoietic cell transplantation in older patients with hematologic malignancies: replacing high-dose cytotoxic therapy with graft-versus-tumor effects

TL;DR: A novel allografting approach, based on the use of postgrafting immunosuppression to control graft rejection and GVHD, has dramatically reduced the acute toxicities of allogRAFTing.

Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual

TL;DR: Molecular Cloning has served as the foundation of technical expertise in labs worldwide for 30 years as mentioned in this paper and has been so popular, or so influential, that no other manual has been more widely used and influential.

Detection of specific sequences among DNA fragments separated by gel electrophoresis.

TL;DR: This paper describes a method of transferring fragments of DNA from agarose gels to cellulose nitrate filters that can be hybridized to radioactive RNA and hybrids detected by radioautography or fluorography.

Individual-specific 'fingerprints' of human DNA.

TL;DR: It is shown that other variant (core)n probes can detect additional sets of hypervariable minisatellites to produce somatically stable DNA ‘fingerprints’ which are completely specific to an individual (or to his or her identical twin) and can be applied directly to problems of human identification, including parenthood testing.

Antileukemic Effect of Graft-versus-Host Disease in Human Recipients of Allogeneic-Marrow Grafts

TL;DR: The apparent antileukemic effect was more marked in patients with lymphoblastic than nonlymphoblastic leukemia, and in those who received transplants during relapse rather than during remission, and was most evident during the first 130 days after transplantation.
