Immunodeficiency following autologous CD34+-purified peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation could be related to T-cell depletion of the graft or impaired T-cell reconstitution due to thymus irradiation. Aiming to assess the role of irradiated thymus in T-cell repopulation, we studied 32 adults with multiple myeloma, randomly assigned to receive high-dose therapy including total body irradiation (TBI) followed by autologous transplantation with either unselected or CD34+-selected PBSCs. The median number of reinfused CD3+ cells was lower in the selected group (0.03 versus 14 x 10(6)/kg; P =.002). Lymphocyte subset counts were evaluated from month 3 to 24 after grafting. Naive CD4+ T cells were characterized both by phenotype and by quantification of T-cell receptor rearrangement excision circles (TRECs). The reconstitution of CD3+ and CD4+ T cells was significantly delayed in the CD34+-selected group, but eventually led to counts similar to those found in the unselected group after month 12. Mechanism of reconstitution differed, however, between both groups. Indeed, a marked increase in the naive CD62L+CD45RA+CD4+ subset was observed in the selected group, but not in the unselected group in which half of the CD45RA+CD4+ T cells appear to be CD62L-. Age was identified as an independent adverse factor for CD4+ and CD62L+CD45RA+CD4+ T-cell reconstitution. Our results provide evidence that infusing PBSCs depleted of T cells after TBI in adults delays T-cell reconstitution but accelerates thymic regeneration.
