Abstract excerpt
To gain insight into the origin and clinical significance of leukocytes that lack human leukocyte antigen A (HLA-A) allele expression caused by a copy-number-neutral loss of heterozygosity in the short arm of chromosome 6 in patients with acquired aplastic anemia (AA), we used a high-sensitivity flow cytometry assay to investigate the presence of HLA-A allele-lacking leukocytes (HLA-LLs) in 144 AA patients....
