Persistence of host-type hematopoiesis after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for leukemia is significantly related to the recipient's age and/or the conditioning regimen, but it is not associated with an increased risk of relapse

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the chimerism pattern within flow-sorted peripheral blood- or bone marrow-derived cell populations after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for the treatment of leukemia in children. This study was performed to define the identity of persistent host-type cells, to identify prognostic variables for the persistence of host-type hematopoiesis, and to determine the prognostic significance of...
