    Patent number: 9658228
    Abstract: The described invention comprises a method for detecting the onset or monitoring the recurrence of chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) in a transplantation patient. The method comprises isolating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from the transplantation patient and analyzing the isolated PBMCs to detect a biomarker specific for a donor cell. The detection of the biomarker is indicative of the onset or recurrence of cGVHD in the transplantation patient.
