Figure 1 Long-lasting donor unresponsiveness post-HCT. Three representative long-term tolerant animals that received a DLI after a RIC-HCT. Animal 13272 received 2 DLIs (arrows) on days 745 and 984 post-HCT, respectively. The first DLI was unmodified, whereas the second DLI was a “sensitized” DLI. Animal 14225 received a DLI on day 110 post-HCT. Animal 13476 received a DLI on day 482 post-HCT. Chimerism is shown in the top panels. Percent donor-derived chimerism is shown on the y axis and days post-transplantation on the x axis. CMLs were done at different time points. White squares represent anti-self responses, triangles anti–third party responses, and dark squares anti-donor responses. The y axis represents percent specific lysis (PSL) and the x axis represents the effector-to-target ratio (E:T). No effects after DLI were observed in these 3 representative animals (*P < .05).

Figure 2 DLI after leukapheresis. Animal 14980 received a DLI on day 218 post-HCT. The animal converted to donor chimerism without GVHD. Animal 19141 received a 37 million CD3+ T cell DLI on day 453 post-HCT, and subsequently developed GVHD. Animal 19560 underwent leukaphoresis on day 59 post-HCT and subsequently received a 50 million CD3 T cell DLI. Acute GVHD developed. Animals 17467 and 17469 each received a 50 million CD3 T cell DLI on days 96 and 62 after haplo-HCT, respectively. Animal 17467 had evidence of increased chimerism before succumbing to a non–GVHD-related condition. No effect was observed in animal 17469, and the DLI dose was escalated to 150 million (megadose) CD3+ T cell DLI on day 463 post-HCT. The animal converted to full donor chimerism and developed skin-only GVHD.

Figure 3 Sensitized and CC DLIs. (A, left) Percent chimerism of animal 14376 after haploidentical HCT. A 50 million CD3+ T cell/kg DLI was delivered on day 36 and a “sensitized” DLI 1 year post-HCT (arrows). (A, middle) CML from a naive AC (used in comparison with the right panel). (A, right) CML from animal 14179 after being sensitized by host MHC-matched skin (to animal 14376, an AD). Assay was performed 92 days after skin grafting. (B, left) Percent chimerism of animal 16626 after haploidentical HCT. The animal was a low level chimera in all lineages. Animal 16626 received a donor AC DLI of 1 million CD3 T cells on day 152 post-HCT followed by a second DLI of 50 million AC donor-matched CD3+ T cells/kg (arrows). No effect of either DLI was observed. The third and last DLI was a CC DLI. This DLI was haplo-matched to donor cells (AC) but completely mismatched to the host MHC (AD). (B, middle) CML from chimeric animal 16626 responding to a third-party control while unresponsive to the PBMCs from the CC DLI donor. (B, right) CML using CC effectors and animal 16626 chimeric cells as targets before the DLI.
