We investigated an automated clinical-scale human-CD4(+)-cell purification method to deplete CD8(+) cells. Twenty-four stem cell recipients received a total of 24 leukapheresis products being enriched for CD4(+) cells using magnetic associated cell sorting (MACS) with an automated device (CliniMACS({\textregistered})) before DLIs.

Mean yield and purity of CD45(+)CD3(+)CD4(+)CD14(-)7AAD(-) were 74% ± 23% and 82% ± 11%, respectively. Median initial dose of DLIs was 1.1 × 10(6) CD4(+)/kg. During a median follow-up of 25 months, 7 (30%) patients experienced GVHD (acute II-IV: n = 4, 17%; acute III-IV: n = 2, 8%; chronic limited: n = 2, 8%; chronic extensive: n = 1, 4%). Thirteen of 21 further evaluable patients (62%) showed measurable clinical response, 2 patients with therapy refractory infectious complications (HSV) showed remarkable immunologic improvement.
