Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHCT) is considered as a treatment of choice for many malignant hematologic disorders and genetic diseases. Unfortunately toxicities of conventional alloHCT remain a major limitation to successful application of the procedure. A radically new approach for alloHCT has been developed. Nonmyeloablative preparative regimen allows to establish mixed hematopoietic chimerism after alloHCT. A state of stable mixed chimerism may represent a starting point for induction of full donor derived hematopoiesis. A published results of several clinical trials have confirmed potential benefits of this new approach such as less procedure--related toxicity, protection from severe acute GVHD (graft versus host disease), lower TRM (transplant related mortality). Intensive investigations are done to replace in the future pretransplant chemotherapy and/or radiation by nontoxic anti-T-cell agents. These include antibody to the T-cell receptor alpha beta and blockers of T-cell costimulation (e.g. CTLA4lg).
