1. To define phenotypic, functional and molecular correlates of acute GVHD early after HSCT/at its onset 2. To study thymic reconstitution and the T-cell repertoire after HSCT during period 2 3. To identify functional and molecular correlates of immune tolerance in long-term survivors of HSCT 4. Preparing for biomarker validation into a clinical trial We propose a prospective analysis of a cohort of 680 patients transplanted from an HLA-identical sibling donor at Saint Louis hospital. Analyses will be performed during 3 critical, clinically relevant, periods.
