Clinical Utility of Quantitative PCR for Chimerism and Engraftment Monitoring after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation for Hematologic Malignancies
8 Jun 2017
Abstract excerpt
Although quantitative PCR (qPCR) has been explored for chimerism monitoring after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT), evidence regarding its clinical utility compared with standard short tandem repeat (STR) is still limited. We retrospectively studied commercial qPCR and STR chimerism with respective positivity thresholds of .1% and 1% in 359 peripheral blood (PB) and 95 bone marrow (BM) samples from 30...
