Abstract excerpt
Aplastic anemia (AA) is characterized by multilineage bone marrow failure of unknown etiology. In order to assess the role of immune-mediated mechanisms in hematopoietic suppression, we examined the diversity of T lymphocyte repertoire in terms of variable (V) gene segment usage of the T cell receptor (TCR) beta chain in bone marrow and peripheral blood of six patients with severe untreated AA. Expression of...
