Methods for Treating and/or Preventing Graft-Versus-Host Disease and/or Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage and/or Veno-Occlusive Disease Associated with Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant

Abstract:

In one aspect, the invention provides methods of inhibiting the effects of MASP-2-dependent complement activation in a human subject suffering from graft-versus-host disease and/or diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and/or veno-occlusive disease associated with a hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
