basically when is g versus host disease beneficial
i get how with donor healthy tcells, u can go thru leukemia pt n kill bad wbc's. fine.
what got me lost on this question
was every option had some sorta bad cell, like all, and the rest were autoimmune i guess, so that should of gave it away i suppose. but in sle and those other diseases, where body's attacking itself, wouldnt donor tcells killing of these cells help too??
but i was under the impression, when u give donor TCELL. it goes around killing whatever it doesnt recoginize.
ya sure it'd kill leukemia cells, but doenst it like kill the whole host cus it attacks ALL of the cells right. like muscle and everything. its not like tcells act in blood cells only no?
am i completely off here?
