Expression of CXCR4 on T-cell subsets and Plasma IL-17 Concentrations in Patients with Aplastic Anaemia

Abstract Acquired aplastic anaemia (AA) is caused by T-cells migrating to and attacking bone marrow (BM) in response to chemokines (e.g., CXCR4). We investigated CXCR4 expressions on circulating T-cell subsets, plasma IL-17A concentrations, and their correlations with AA manifestations. We enrolled...
