Genetic PTX3 deficiency and aspergillosis in stem-cell transplantation
Rodrigues, Fernando José dos Santos; Cunha, Cristina; Aversa, Franco; Lacerda, João F.; Busca, Alessandro; Kunzai, Oliver; Grube, MatthiasBACKGROUND: The soluble pattern-recognition receptor known as long pentraxin 3 (PTX3) has a nonredundant role in antifungal immunity. The contribution of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PTX3 to the development of invasive aspergillosis is unknown. METHODS: We screened an initial cohort of 268 patients undergoing hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) and their donors for PTX3 SNPs modifying th...

Gomes, Anita Q.; Correia, Daniel V.; Grosso, Ana R.; Lança, Telma; Ferreira, Cristina; Lacerda, João F.; Barata, João T.; Gomes da Silva, Maria©2010 Ferrata Storti Foundation. This is an open-access paper ; Background Vγ9Vδ2 T lymphocytes are regarded as promising mediators of cancer immunotherapy due to their capacity to eliminate multiple experimental tumors, particularly within those of hematopoietic origin. However, Vγ9Vδ2 T-cell based lymphoma clinical trials have suffered from the lack of biomarkers that can be used as prognostic of therapeuti...
Autologous stem cell transplantation in acute myeloid leukemia. Factors influen...
Martins, Carlos; Lacerda, João F; Lourenço, Fernanda; Carmo, José A; Lacerda, J M FWe report our results of autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT) in patients with AML during the last 13 years. Between August 1990 and December 2003, 42 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) received an autologous SCT. Patients were classified as standard risk if first complete remission (CR) was induced after one or two chemotherapy regimens and the white blood cell count at presentation was below 50,...
