“…Infusion of fresh HPC in the allogeneic setting is also better tolerated, but AEs are still reported, 12,27 supporting the role of factors other than DMSO in the etiology of infusion‐related toxicities. A recent report also incriminates the amount of non‐MNCs in the occurrence of AEs after infusion of autologous cryopreserved HPC grafts 39 further supporting our data. Although DMSO responsibility cannot be completely ruled out, our study reveals that contamination of apheresis products with granulocytes is a major determinant of AE occurrence when infusing washed HPC grafts: immediate toxicity after infusion is probably of multifactorial origin and preinfusion washing of HPC grafts, that cannot completely remove granulocyte debris, might not be enough to reduce infusion‐associated complications.…”
