Abstract Analysis of donor chimerism has become a routine method for the documentation of
engraftment after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In recent years …

Sequential analysis of chimerism after allogeneic blood stem cell transplantation (BSCT)
has been shown to be predictive for graft failure and relapse. We have explored the impact …

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) plays a central role in chronic myeloid leukemia
(CML) because it remains the only treatment with proven curative potential. For this reason …

We studied lineage-specific chimerism and minimal residual disease (MRD) in sequential
posttransplant samples from 55 patients who underwent unmanipulated (n= 44) or partially T …

We retrospectively analyzed the prognostic significance of mixed chimerism and associated
clinical parameters in 80 patients following unmanipulated allogenic stem cell …

We used multiplex amplification of nine microsatellite sequences (PCR-STR) to analyse
chimerism in pure populations of T cells and neutrophils from peripheral blood from 40 …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Recent progress in the development of diagnostic
techniques has greatly facilitated the monitoring of minimal residual disease (MRD) in …

In many haematological conditions the only curative option is stem cell (SCT) or bone
marrow (BM) transplantation. Little information exists about BM morphology following non …

Background. Bone marrow macrophages have been recognized to play a crucial role in the
functional network that constitutes the microenvironment. In chronic myelogenous leukemia …

In this study we analysed the incidence and clinical impact of the persistence of host
haemopoiesis (mixed chimaerism, MC) after allogeneic BMT in 35 consecutive patients with …
