Abstract excerpt
Introduction: Mutations in the nucleophosmin 1 gene (NPM1) are common and recurrent molecular abnormalities in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). NPM1 mutations are considered to be positive prognostic factors. The beneficial effect may be due to immune responses mediated by cytotoxic T cells targeting HLA-presented peptides derived from mutated NPM1 and thereby suppressing mutated NPM1-positive hematopoiesis. While...
