Abstract excerpt
We previously reported the potent adverse effects of killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) ligand mismatch (KIR-L-MM) on the outcome of T cell-replete unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (UR-HSCT) through the Japan Marrow Donor Program. Other UR-HSCT studies have yielded inconsistent results. To address this discrepancy, we evaluated candidate factors contributing to the effects of KIR-L-MM on...
