Bone marrow-infiltrating human neuroblastoma cells express high levels of calprotectin and HLA-G proteins.
Metastases in the bone marrow (BM) are grim prognostic factors in patients with neuroblastoma (NB). In spite of extensive analysis of primary tumor cells from high- and low-risk NB patients, a characterization of freshly isolated BM-infiltrating metastatic NB cells is still lacking. Our aim was to i...

Metastases in the bone marrow (BM) are grim prognostic factors in patients with neuroblastoma (NB).
