A broad T-cell repertoire diversity and an efficient thymic function indicate a favorable long-term immune reconstitution after cord blood stem cell transplantation
15 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
Cord blood (CB) is used increasingly as a source of hematopoietic stem cells because of a lower risk of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). However, there is some concern regarding the ability to adequately reconstitute host immune response due to the immaturity and naivety of CB T cells. This study was designed to evaluate T-cell reconstitution using combined approaches of phenotyping, analysis...
