Inefficient response of T lymphocytes to glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor–negative cells: implications for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
14 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a hematopoietic stem cell disorder in which clonal cells defective in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) biosynthesis are expanded, leading to complement-mediated hemolysis. PNH is often associated with bone marrow suppressive conditions, such as aplastic anemia. One hypothetical mechanism for the clonal expansion of GPI(-) cells in PNH is that the mutant cells escape...
