Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is a condition characterized by recipient tissue damage that arise from immunological activation of donor T lymphocytes. It typically occurs in the setting of bone marrow transplantation. Donor T cells mount a response against foreign host cells in the gastrointestinal system, liver, and skin.
