Abstract excerpt
Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-treated chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients with increased NK cell number have a better prognosis, and thus, NK cells may suppress CML. However, the efficacy of TKIs varies for reasons yet to be fully elucidated. As NK cell activity is modulated by interactions between their killer cell Ig-like receptors (KIRs) and HLAs of target cells, the combination of their polymorphisms...
