Donor Lymphocyte Infusion: DLI may be used after a stem cell transplantation. Lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) from the stem cell transplant donor are removed from the donor’s blood and stored. The donor’s lymphocytes are then given to the patient through one or more infusions. The lymphocytes see the patient’s cancer cells as not belonging and attack them.
