Chimerism status after unrelated donor bone marrow transplantation with fludarabine-melphalan conditioning is affected by the melphalan dose and is predictive of relapse
Little is known regarding the chimerism status after reduced-intensity conditioning transplantation when bone marrow is used as a stem cell source. We prospectively analyzed lineage-specific chimerism and retr...
