Abstract excerpt
Alloreactive NK cells lyse target cells lacking self-HLA-C or the HLA-B-Bw4 epitope. Prior to haploidentical stem cell transplants, donor alloreactivity toward the patient is evaluated by natural killer (NK) cloning followed by testing of the clones in the (51)Cr-release assay. As only a few percent of NK clones are alloreactive, a large number of NK clones must be established and evaluated. This approach is...
