Extracorporeal photopheresis in addition to pentostatin in conditioning for canine hematopoietic cell transplantation: role in engraftment
Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) and the purine analog pentostatin exert potent immunomodulatory effects, but have not been evaluated for their ability to enhance engraftment of hematopoietic stem cells. We ...
