In mice, donor leukocyte infusions (DLI) given to established mixed allogeneic chimeras can mediate powerful graft-vs.-host reactions confined to the lymphohematopoietic system without inducing graft-vs.-host-disease (GVHD). In a clinical trial attempting to capture this approach to achieve graft-vs.leukemia/lymphoma (GVL) effects without GVHD, we have observed surprisingly powerful anti-tumor effects of DLI in patients achieving mixed chimerism after non-myeloablative bone marrow transplantation. This observation led us to hypothesize that host antigen-presenting cells in mixed chimeras might be required to optimally present recipient antigens to the donor lymphocytes, leading to maximal graft-versus-tumor effects. To test this hypothesis, we established mixed and fully allogeneic hematopoietic chimeras in B6 mice and evaluated the effect of DLI on EL4 T-cell lymphoma. DLI administration to mixed chimeras produced dramatically improved leukemia-free survival compared to administration of DLI to full donor chimeras. DLI also converted mixed chimeras to full chimeras without causing GVHD. The magnitude of the GVL effect was dependent on the level of MHC class I expression on recipient hematopoietic cells in mixed chimeras. Thus, induction of mixed chimerism followed by delayed DLI provides an approach to inhibiting GVHD that optimizes GVL effects.
