Abstract excerpt
In patients with immune-mediated acquired aplastic anemia (AA), HLA class I alleles often disappear from the surface of hematopoietic progenitor cells, potentially enabling evasion from cytotoxic T lymphocyte-mediated pathogenesis. Although HLA class I allele loss has been studied in AA patients treated with immunosuppressive therapy (IST), its impact on allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) has not been...
