Of the multiple cell lineages undergoing reconstitution in the setting of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), this overview will focus on reconstitution of the T cell arm of the immune system. In clinical HSCT, the autologous setting is free of constraints imposed by reactions to allogeneic antigens, but markers are lacking to distinguish reconstitution from transferred cells versus stem or progenitor cells left residual in the host. In allogeneic transplants, the converse is true: the stem cell origins of the reconstituted populations can be determined, but the biology of such reconstitution is confounded by concomitant allogeneic responses. Because of these constraints, the basic biology of T cell immune reconstitution was first delineated in mouse models in which the availability of congenic strains allowed stem cell origins of reconstituted cell populations to be investigated without the presence of confounding allogenic reactions. Two pathways of T cell regeneration were identified: the thymic-dependent maturation of new T cells from marrow progenitors, and thymicindependent expansion of mature peripheral T cells [1]. These initial studies also determined that no other pathways existed by which substantial peripheral populations of T cells were generated, and also established a means for investigating T cell reconstitution in humans by analyzing the expression of isoforms of the leukocyte common antigen CD45 as markers of naıve and memory populations that correlated with the pathway of regeneration. They also demonstrated that homeostatic expansion of mature T cells occurred in lymphopenic hosts. Studies of such expansion have formed central concepts of homeostasis: that T cell levels are maintained by a balance between cytokineconsuming cells and homeostatic cytokines that support the maturation, proliferative expansion, and survival of T cells [2].In translating these murine findings to humans, the recovery of CD4+ T cells in pediatric patients who were severely lymphopenic following chemotherapy treatment were initially tracked (Figure 1). There was a strong correlation between the recovery of total CD4+ T cell numbers and the recovery of naive, CD45RA+CD45ROJ CD4+ T cells after as few as 6 months [3]. Furthermore, recovery of naive CD4+ cells was associated with a marked expansion of thymus volume, consistent with a dynamic regulation of the thymus. Finally, an inverse correlation was observed between age and early recovery of CD4+ T cells in the peripheral blood (PB). These data supported the conclusion that thymic-dependent T cell production was primarily responsible for the repopulation of PB CD4+ T cells in young patients following acute T cell depletion associated with therapy. Most importantly, this work confirmed that the approach of utilizing CD45 isoform expression on CD4+ T cells, as established from murine basic research, could be used to investigate immune reconstitution in humans. To assess the contributions of thymus-dependent and-independent pathways in adults, CD45 isoforms expressed by CD4+ T cells following chemotherapy were characterized [4]. In contrast to observations in pediatric patient populations, lymphopenic adults (aged over 30 years) generated few new CD45RA+ CD4+ cells during the first year posttherapy. Instead, CD45RO+ CD4+ cells increased rapidly in number, recovering the majority of CD4+ T cells to pretreatment levels within the first 3 months after chemotherapy [5]. Thus, these studies established the existence of an early second primary pathway of CD4+ T cell regeneration in humans, namely, a thymus independent, peripheral expansion pathway marked by production of T …
