Reduced-intensity conditioning for severe aplasia using fludarabine and CY followed by infusion of ex vivo T-cell-depleted grafts leads to excellent engraftment and absence of GVHD
We studied the outcome of individuals with aplastic anaemia (AA) who received reduced-intensity conditioning followed by the infusion of stem cell grafts that had been T-cell depleted ex vivo with alemtuzumab. Co...
