MM Imanguli, JC Atkinson, KE Harvey, GT Hoehn… - Experimental …, 2007 - Elsevier
OBJECTIVE: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is frequently
complicated by severe infections and graft-vs-host disease (GVHD). Saliva contains many
components of adaptive and innate immune response crucial for local host defenses.
Changes in salivary constituents could reflect systemic processes such as immune
reconstitution and development of GVHD that occur posttransplant. This study was an initial
evaluation of salivary protein changes that occur after allo-HCT. PATIENTS AND METHODS …
