Popis: Antithymocyte globulin Fresenius (ATG-F) is used before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to prevent graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease in patients with HLA-matched unrelated donors or mismatched volunteers. However, little is known about the effect of ATG-F on the reconstitution of B-cell subsets. Sixty-seven patients were longitudinally studied at day 15, day 30, and then monthly after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Conditioning regimes included ATG-F, which was infused at days 3, 2 and 1 at a dosage of 10 mg/kg/d. Twenty-seven patients received conditioning regimes without ATG. ATG-treated patients showed a significant delay of CD19+ B cells in the early recovery period. The absolute numbers of circulating CD19+ B cells were significantly lower (P
