Following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT), we studied the presence of donor and recipient derived cells within the CD19+ B cell fraction, in patients with B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The chimeric status of the six patients studied was further investigated with minimal residual disease (MRD) detection, by sequencing and using patient-specific primers derived from junctional regions of clonally rearranged immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IgH) receptor genes. To date, five of six patients are alive with a median follow-up time of 24 months (range 15–60) post-SCT. All patients experienced acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease and responded clinically to SCT. All patients were MRD positive after SCT, which correlated to mixed chimerism within the CD19+ cell fraction in all samples except one (25/26). High levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) indicated advanced disease, and patients with increased levels pre- and post-SCT were also those with the most long-lasting PCR-detectable MRD post-SCT. Hence, a high tumor burden pre-SCT may reflect the long duration of detectable MRD in patients with B-CLL after SCT. A durable anti-leukemic effect was probably important in these patients.
