Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Hypothesis: Pathogenic alloreactive clones in GvHD expand in skin during<br /><br>rejection and may be present in blood at low levels, capable of being detected<br /><br>by the newly developed High-throughput TCR deep sequencing. Moreover these<br /><br>pathogenic clones may differ in their function during times of rejection versus<br /><br>tolerance.<br /><br><br /><br>To evaluate this hypothesis, we will carry out experimentswith the following<br /><br>specific aims:<br /><br><br /><br>Aim 1: to identify pathogenic T cell and ILC clones expanded in GvHD skin<br /><br>lesions.<br /><br>Aim 2: to study the function and possible pathogenicity of T cell and ILC<br /><br>clones identified in Aim 1.<br /><br>Aim 3: to track the pathogenic T cell and ILC clones identified in Aim 1 in the<br /><br>blood of the same GvHD patients in times of tolerance versus GvHD, and study<br /><br>their function and phenotypic plasticity.</p><br>
