Functional Reconstitution of Natural Killer Cells in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
15 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
Natural killer (NK) cells are the first lymphocyte population to reconstitute following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and are important in mediating immunity against both leukemia and pathogens. Although NK cell numbers generally reconstitute within a month, the acquisition of mature NK cell phenotype and full functional competency can take 6 months or more, and is influenced by graft...
