The transplant essentially \"resets\" the immune system, meaning that the patient loses much of the protection against infections that has been built up over a lifetime. After the transplant, the patient therefore needs to be revaccinated against several diseases, such as tetanus, diphtheria, polio, COVID-19, and pneumococcal disease.\n\nIn this study, we aim to investigate how B cells-the immune cells that produce antibodies-reconstitute after a stem cell transplant. We are particularly interested in a genetic process called VDJ recombination, through which each B cell develops a unique receptor that enables it to recognize and fight a specific virus or bacterium. This process is what makes our immune system so effective. But what happens to this diversity after the entire immune system has been restarted with new stem cells? Does the body regain the same ability to recognize pathogens? Are there differences between patients who receive their own stem cells (autologous transplantation) and those who receive stem cells from another person (allogeneic transplantation)?\n\nTo answer these questions, we will follow patients undergoing stem cell transplantation at Umeå University Hospital. We will collect blood samples before and after the transplantation and will assess whether-and how well-patients generate antibodies in response to the vaccines given after transplantation. Using flow cytometry and genetic analyses, we will examine both which B-cell populations are generated and what their genetic architecture looks like. The goal is to understand how the new immune system is rebuilt after transplantation and, ultimately, to help improve vaccination strategies and infection prevention for this vulnerable patient group",[25,26,27],"Stem Cell Transplantation, Hematopoietic","V(D)J Recombination","Receptors, Antigen, B-Cel","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-01-07",{"date":31,"type":32},"2026-01-16","ACTUAL",{"date":34,"type":21},"2026-02-01",{"date":36,"type":21},"2036-12-31",{"name":38,"class":39},"Umeå University","OTHER"]
