Abstract excerpt
The curative effect of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is in part due to an alloresponse of donor lymphocytes against recipient leukemia termed the graft versus leukemia (GvL) effect. To identify target antigens for the GvL response on leukemia cells, we looked for polymorphism of proteinase 3, a primary granule protein overexpressed in myeloid leukemias. The study was carried out in 10 patients with...
