Mixed chimerism in haemoglobinopathies: from risk of graft rejection to immune tolerance
20 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
Mixed chimerism (MC), the simultaneous presence of both host- and donor-derived cells in the recipient, is observed in a large proportion of patients after haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) to treat haemoglobinopathies.
