HSCT

patient with SCD and AIH

Female

Patient’s HbSA haploidentical father

HSCT

- After HSCT by 2 years, the data showed a full donor hematopoiesis, no SCD manifestation was noted, cerebral vasculopathy appeared to be resolved and the patient required no additional medical treatment. Antinuclear and anti-smooth muscle autoantibodies were negative 2 months after HSCT, and there was no recurrence of AIH in the patient.

BMT

Patient with a 4-year history of AIH and developed acute AL-L2.

Male

His healthy 25-year-old sibling was chosen as an MLC-non-reactive BM donor who was HLA A-, HLA B-, and DR-matched

- 6·8 × 108 bone marrow cells for each kilogram (overall 4·7 × 1010 cells)

- 105 T lymphocytes for each kilogram body from a donor's peripheral blood (overall of 69 × 105 T lymphocytes)

- Allogeneic transplantation of BM and donor T cells resulted in the normalization of T-cell responses to ASGPR, the elimination of antibodies to the same autoantigen, and the noticeable treatment of AIH.
