I met a volunteer at Memorial Sloan Kettering who had a T-cell depleted transplant 15 years ago (he had Leukemia that was in remission before transplant), he had a relapse of Leukemia, and over the first two years, they fed him back 1/3 of his donors' T-cells (that they had frozen), they did this three times, and he was finally cured... He has been Leukemia free for 13 years, and never had any GVHD at all...
