Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a curative treatment for many inborn errors of immunity (IEI). Incremental improvements and advances in care have led to high rates of >85% survival and cure in many of these diseases. Improvements in HLA-classification and matching have led to increased survival using HLA-matched donors, but survival using T-lymphocyte-depleted mismatched grafts remained significantly worse until fairly recently. Advances in T-lymphocyte depletion methods and graft engineering, although not specific to IEI, have been widely adopted and instrumental in changing the landscape of donor selection, such that a donor should now be possible for every patient. AREAS COVERED A literature review focusing on T-lymphocyte depletion methodologies and treatment results was performed. The importance of early T-lymphocyte immunoreconstitution to protect against viral infection is reviewed. Two main platforms now dominate the field - immune-magnetic selection of specific cell types and post-transplant chemotherapeutic targeting of rapidly proliferating allo-reactive T-lymphocytes - the emerging literature on these reports, focusing on IEI, is explored, as well as the impact of serotherapy on early immunoreconstitution. EXPERT OPINION Pharmacokinetic monitoring of serotherapy agents, and use of co-stimulatory molecule blockade are likely to become more widespread. Post-transplant cyclophosphamide or TCR depletion strategies are likely to become the dominant methods of transplantation for nonmalignant diseases.

Case report: Optimized ruxolitinib-based therapy in an infant with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis type 3. Front Immunol 2022; 13:977463.

Abstract
Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL) is a rare and fatal autosomal recessive immune disorder characterized by uncontrolled activation of T and NK cells, macrophages, and overproduction of inflammatory cytokines. Early hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is required for long-term survival. Current therapy is based on the HLH-94/2004 protocol, but is insufficient to fully control disease activity. This case report describes an infant with FHL type 3 who, despite initial therapy with dexamethasone and etoposide, showed aberrant cytokine levels, including interleukin-18 (IL-18), chemokine ligand 9 (CXCL9), soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R), and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor type II (sTNF-RII). The Janus kinase inhibitor ruxolitinib was therefore coadministered. The patient was treated with dose-adjusted ruxolitinib guided by cytokine profiles, and was successfully prepared for HCT. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of dose-adjusted ruxolitinib as a bridging therapy for FHL, and the value of monitoring cytokine levels, especially IL-18, CXCL9, sIL-2R, and sTNF-RII, as disease-activity markers for FHL.
