Research Abstract

The objective was to determine the best regimen of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(auto-HSCT) for refractory autoimmune diseases. CD34+ selected auto-HSCT was more effective on skin sclerosis and more strongly associated with viral infection than unmanipulated auto-HSCT in patients with systemic sclerosis(SSc). The gene expression profile of lymphocytes more normalized in SSc patients who received CD34+ selected auto-HSCT than those who received unmanipulated auto-HSCT. In conclusion, CD34+ selected auto-HSCT should be applied in the treatment of refractory autoimmune diseases.
