Graft-Versus-Host Disease
VetBooks.ir Another syndrome characterized by excessive production of
cytokines, especially TNF-α, is graft-versus-host disease. In this
disease, described in more detail in Chapter 34, donor lymphocytes
attack the tissues of the graft recipient. TNF-α from these cells
causes mucosal destruction, leading to ulceration, diarrhea, and
liver destruction.
