Increased Infection-Related Mortality in KIR-Ligand–Mismatched Unrelated Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Transplantation
11 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
Recently, attention has been focused on the role of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR)-ligand incompatibility between donor and recipient in allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (ASCT). Although KIR-ligand mismatch is clearly associated with improved survival in haploidentical ASCT for acute myeloid leukemia, its role in unrelated human leukocyte antigen-mismatched ASCT is more...
