Abstract excerpt
Natural killer (NK) cells recognize and may kill malignant cells via their cell surface receptors. Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genotypes of donors have been reported to adjust the risk of relapse after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), particularly in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. To test whether non-KIR NK cell receptors have a similar effect, we screened 1,638 genetic...
