Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Relapse of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) leaves few therapeutic options, and mechanisms of immune escape of recurring leukemic cells remain poorly understood. Recently, acquired loss of mismatched human leukocyte antigen (HLA) was demonstrated in patients with AML undergoing haploidentical allogeneic HSCT and was suggested not to occur in...
