It is now known that syngeneic transplantation, T lymphocyte depletion and absence of graft-versus-host disease all increase the risk of relapse following allogeneic transplantation for the myeloid leukemias, both acute and chronic. Leukemia-specific immune responses appear to play a major role in the therapy of the myeloid leukemias. In recent years attempts have been made to better characterize and effectively utilize these antileukemic immune responses, concentrating on clinical states of minimal residual disease. This review will discuss the role of such immunotherapy following autologous bone marrow transplantation for myeloid leukemias, and will focus on recent experience and ongoing clinical trials using the novel immunomodulator Linomide.
