Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is one of the most important obstacles after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). The mortality rate is around 50%, especially in severe GVHD. One of the most important clinical outcomes in GVHD is non-relapse mortality (NRM). NRM was defined as death without evidence of relapse or progression. Kaplan Meier, log-rank test, and Cox model are used in survival analysis methods. There are various biomarkers that assess clinical outcomes of GVHD. Damage-associated molecular patterns, pathogen-associated molecular patterns, microRNAs, markers of endothelial dysfunction, cytokines, and their receptors are used to predict the occurrence of GVHD and clinical outcomes in GVHD. Furthermore, the utilization of panels that assess many biomarkers has proven to be successful in predicting the clinical outcomes of GVHD, particularly NRM.
期刊介绍:
For over 20 years, biological scientists have come to rely on the research protocols and methodologies in the critically acclaimed Methods in Molecular Biology series. The series was the first to introduce the step-by-step protocols approach that has become the standard in all biomedical protocol publishing. Each protocol is provided in readily-reproducible step-by-step fashion, opening with an introductory overview, a list of the materials and reagents needed to complete the experiment, and followed by a detailed procedure that is supported with a helpful notes section offering tips and tricks of the trade as well as troubleshooting advice.
