Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is a life-threatening syndrome commonly associated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Preventing the incidence of GVHD after HSCT along with minimizing long-term immunosuppression is currently under investigation with regulatory T cells (Tregs). As Tregs are a low-frequency population and the yield of all memory Tregs is not sufficient for clinical application, an initial Treg expansion is essential.
