摘要
Chemotherapy-resistant cells cause disease recurrence in a significant proportion of patients with acute leukemia treated with autologous stem cell transplantation due to the lack of immune-mediated effects which contribute significantly to the prevention of post-treatment disease recurrence. This conclusion is based on the observation that relapse after high dose chemotherapy supported by a stem cell transplant from a twin donor is 3-4 times higher than after transplant from an allogeneic donor. This anti-leukemic mechanism of transplanted donor cells has been termed graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect, and efforts are being directed toward utilizing such an immune-mechanism after autologous transplantation. Since interleukin-2 (IL-2) can induce remissions in selected patients with advanced leukemia, it has become a candidate cytokine to be used in attempts to introduce GVL after autologous stem cell transplantation. Here we review the available clinical data with IL-2 and critically evaluate whether IL-2 has a place as adjunct treatment to prevent relapse after autologous transplantation for acute leukemia.
