C-aAbs against IL-1α, IL-6, IL-10, IFNα, IFNγ and GM-CSF were measured in 131 HSCT recipients before and after (days + 7, + 14, + 28) HSCT and tested for associations with 33 different plasma biomarkers, leukocyte subsets, platelets and clinical outcomes, including engraftment, GvHD and infections. The gene discussed is IL1A; the disease is graft versus host disease.
