Prognostic value of pretransplantation host thymic function in HLA-identical sibling hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
17 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
Thymic function is critical for immune reconstitution after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We evaluated recipient thymic function before HSCT by quantifying T-cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) in pretransplantation peripheral blood lymphocytes from 102 patients who received HSCs from an HLA-identical sibling for malignant (n = 87) or nonmalignant diseases (n = 15). Median TREC value before...
