Lack of B cell precursors in marrow transplant recipients with chronic graft-versus-host disease

Abstract excerpt

B cell reconstitution after bone marrow transplantation is slow in patients with chronic graft-vs.-host disease (cGVHD). Could this be secondary to decreased production of B cells in the bone marrow? We determined the relative amount of B cell precursors in the marrow of 26 patients at approximately 1 year after marrow transplant (10 patients with and 16 patients without clinical cGVHD) and 8 normal adult...
